The invention discloses an electronic file
access control method and
system based on hierarchical security
encryption. The electronic file
access control method includes the steps: firstly, setting the
security level of an electronic file, then distributing a grading key to an electronic file sender, carrying out grading
encryption on the electronic file, carrying out grading
access control, and finally updating the key. The electronic file access
control system comprises a user registration / management module, an electronic file security classification management module, an electronic file classification
encryption module, an electronic file classification decryption module, a
key distribution management module, a key calculation
recovery module, an electronic file sending / receiving moduleand a
database module. According to the invention, the electronic file is encrypted in a graded manner according to the
security level of the electronic file, and graded decryption and access controlare performed on the electronic file according to the
security level of the user, so that the multi-level security of the electronic file is realized, and the security of the electronic file is effectively protected. Through hierarchical encryption and hierarchical decryption, hierarchical access control of the electronic file is realized.
