Multi-layer key management for secure multimedia multicast communications

چکیده
An important application of multicasting is group-oriented multimedia communication, such as video-on-demand and video conferencing. Before these services can be successfully deployed, security infrastructures must be developed to ensure access control to multicast content. In this paper, we present a multi-group key management scheme tailored to multimedia multicast services that distribute data in multi-layer or multi-object format. Compared with the existing tree-based key management schemes that are used for generic data multicasting services, the proposed scheme can reduce the communication overhead by a factor of M+1 2 and M is the number of layers. For example, when the multimedia data is encoded into three layers according to different quality requirements, the proposed scheme reduces the communication overhead associated with key updating by 50%.

Multilayer multicast key management with threshold cryptography
The problem of distributing multimedia securely over the Internet is often viewed as an instance of secure multicast communication, in which multicast messages are protected by a group key shared among the group of clients. One important class of key management schemes makes use of a hierarchical key distribution tree. Constructing a hierarchical tree based on secret shares rather than keys yie...
