Efficient techniques for realizing geo-spatial access control

The problem of key management for access control systems has been well-studied, and the literature contains several schemes for hierarchy-based and temporal-based access control. The problem of key management in such systems is how to assign keys to users such that each user is able to compute and have access to the appropriate resources while minimizing computation and storage requirements. In the current paper, we consider key management schemes for geo-spatial access control. That is, the access control policy assigns to a user a specific geographic area, and the user consequently obtains access to her area or information about it. In this work, the geography is modeled as an m
