Secure Reverse Communication in a Multicast Tree
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multicast content delivery can be expected to become a major source of revenue with the increase of private broadband fixed and mobile communications. Several multicast applications require the receivers to securely send some real-time information back to the source, which leads to a many-to-one communication scenario. Using unicast connections to send this reverse traffic results in a data implosion which may swamp the source with incoming communication. In order to avoid this problem, a method for aggregating the information as it is being sent back to the source is presented in this paper. Confidentiality and authentication are guaranteed at the symbol level for this reverse realtime traffic.

Efficient Cluster Based Multicast Tree for Secure Multicast Communication for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Secure multicast communication in mobile adhoc networks is challenging due to its inherent characteristics of infrastructure-less architecture with lack of central authority, limited resources such as bandwidth, time and power. Hence key management is the fundamental challenge in achieving secure communication using multicast key distribution in mobile adhoc networks. In many multicast interact...

Due to the growth and development of computer networks, the importance of the routing topic has been increased. The importance of the use of multicast networks is not negligible nowadays. Many of multimedia programs need to use a communication link to send a packet from a sender to several receivers. To support such programs, there is a need to make an optimal multicast tree to indicate the opt...
متن کاملComputation-and-storage-efficient key tree management protocol for secure multicast communications
In secure multicast communication, group key management plays an essential role for the guarantee of data confidentiality and integrity. Because communication bandwidth is a limited resource, most group key management schemes for scalable secure multicast communications have focused on reducing the number of update messages, i.e., communication cost. To alleviate the scalability problem, a key ...

متن کاملKey Management for Simultaneous Join/Leave in Secure Multicast
In this paper, we address the problem of key update for secure group communication. We focus on the case where multiple requests for join or leave are received within short intervals of time. We have shown that there exists an optimal tree structure that minimizes the communication complexity of the key update. We introduce and compare several algorithms for simultaneous key update, efficient t...
