Abstract :
In this paper, using cryptographic access control techniques, we demonstrate that a client can store various versions of a file in a secure way at the (remote) server and control its access. The proposed mechanism also permits different users (clients) to store simultaneously their files with the same name at the server in a common storage area, without any name conflict. This will be very useful for mobile clients with limited storage.
