Secure Key Transfer Protocol Based on Secret Sharing for Group Communications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Group key establishment is an important mechanism to construct a common session key for group communications. Conventional group key establishment protocols use an on-line trusted key generation center (KGC) to transfer the group key for each participant in each session. However, this approach requires that a trusted server be set up, and it incurs communication overhead costs. In this article, we address some security problems and drawbacks associated with existing group key establishment protocols. Besides, we use the concept of secret sharing scheme to propose a secure key transfer protocol to exclude impersonators from accessing the group communication. Our protocol can resist potential attacks and also reduce the overhead of system implementation. In addition, comparisons of the security analysis and functionality of our proposed protocol with some recent protocols are included in this article. key words: key transfer protocol, group key, Diffie-Hellman key agreement, secret sharing

Secure Sharing Based on Group Key Transfer Protocol for Group Communications
Key transfer protocols needs key generation center (KGC) to select and transport session keys to all communication entities secretly, that are mutually trusted. Often, during registration each entity shares a session keys that are encrypted under another secret key by the KGC. In this paper based on secret sharing scheme, we propose an authenticated key transfer protocol that once KGC can broad...

A multi-secret sharing scheme (MSS) allows a dealer to share multiple secrets among a set of participants. in such a way a multi-secret sharing scheme (MSS) allows a dealer to share multiple secrets among a set of participants, such that any authorized subset of participants can reconstruct the secrets. Up to now, existing MSSs either require too long shares for participants to be perfect secur...
متن کاملOn the Security of an Authenticated Group Key Transfer Protocol Based on Secret Sharing
Group key transfer protocols allow multiple parties to share a common secret key. They rely on a mutually trusted key generation center (KGC) that selects the key and securely distributes it to the authorized participants. Recently, Sun et al. proposed an authenticated group key transfer protocol based on secret sharing that they claim to be secure. We show that this is false: the protocol is s...
متن کاملA novel Group Key Transfer Protocol
Group key transfer protocols depend on a mutually trusted key generation center (KGC) to transport the group key to all group members secretly. This approach requires that a trusted sever be set up, and it incurs communication overhead costs. In addition, the existing group key transfer protocols based on secret sharing all use threshold schemes that need to compute a -degree interpolating poly...
متن کاملComputation-efficient key establishment in wireless group communications
Efficient key establishment is an important problem for secure group communications. The communication and storage complexity of group key establishment problem has been studied extensively. In this paper, we propose a new group key establishment protocol whose computation complexity is significantly reduced. Instead of using classic secret sharing, the protocol only employs a linear secret sha...
