This study employs secret codes and secret keys based on the elliptic curve to construct an elliptic curve cryptosystem with a dynamic access control system. Consequently, the storage space needed for the secret key generated by an elliptic curve dynamic access control system is smaller than that needed for the secret key generated by exponential operation built on the secure filter (SF) dynamic access control system. Using the elliptic curve to encrypt/decrypt on the secure filter improves the efficiency and security of using exponential operation on the secure filter in the dynamic access control system. With the proposed dynamic elliptic curve access control system, the trusted central authority (CA) can add/delete classes and relationships and change the secret keys at any time to achieve an efficient control and management. Furthermore, different possible attacks are used to analyze the security risks. Since attackers can only obtain the general equations for the elliptic curve dynamic access control system, they are unable to effectively perform an elliptic curve polynomial (ECP) conversion, or to solve the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP). Thus, the proposed elliptic curve dynamic access control system is secure.
