Multi-level access using searchable symmetric encryption with applicability for earth sciences

Accessing the files remotely offers a rentable solution for file storage. If the files are sensitive these should be encrypted before they will be outsourced for assuring confidentiality. These being said, the searching process becomes a real challenging problem. Most of the schemes consider only the scenarios where the users can search entirely over the encrypted files or data. In practice, the sensitive data are classified using an access control policy and different users should have different rights. The current paper will examine and propose a scheme of a multi-level access control policy (MlACP) based on searchable symmetric encryption (SSE) for the software infrastructures that ensure the interoperability of the software applications that access and work with documents and files. The proof of MlACP is The accessibility of the documents is defined by an access control policy designed to take into consideration the applicability in a multitude of IT infrastructures’, such as maritime, environmental protection and ecology, physics analysis and statistics software applications.
