Secure Multicast Communications using a Key Distribution Center

چکیده
In this paper, we treat the entity authentication and subsequent key distribution problem in order to enhance multiple-entity (group of entities) communications with confidentiality and integrity services. We first give a summary of the existing methods to solve the key distribution problem. After this introduction of some known methods, we propose a different one, which detailed description will show its benefits over the known mechanisms. A key management scheme, based in the new method, is also fully described. Finally, the conclusions give a summary of the main advantages introduced by this new method.

Sender Key Storage Reduction of Secure Multicast Key Management Schemes Using One-Way Function Tree
Developing scalable infrastructure services for secure multicast communications has been an active research area [1]-[10]. One-way function tree (OFT) [1, 6] is a secure multicast key distribution scheme with logarithmic key update communication overhead in group size N . The OFT scheme has been proposed as a candidate for secure multicast over Internet to the IETF under Multicast Security (MSE...
متن کاملScalable secure one-to-many group communication using dual encryption
Multicasting is a scalable solution for group communication. Whereas secure unicast is a well-understood problem, scalable secure multicast poses several unique security problems, namely groupmembership control, scalable key distribution to a dynamic group. We address scalability in the pro-posed protocol by using hierarchical subgrouping. Third party hosts or members of the mul...
متن کاملMitigating Node Capture Attack in Random Key Distribution Schemes through Key Deletion
Random Key Distribution (RKD) schemes have been widely accepted to enable low-cost secure communications in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). However, efficiency of secure link establishment comes with the risk of compromised communications between benign nodes by adversaries who physically capture sensor nodes. The challenge is to enhance resilience of WSN against node capture, while maintainin...
متن کاملAnalysis of the various key management algorithms and new proposal in the secure multicast communications
With the evolution of the Internet, multicast communications seem particularly well adapted for large scale commercial distribution applications, for example, the pay TV channels and secure videoconferencing. Key management for multicast remains an open topic in secure Communications today. Key management mainly has to do with the distribution and update of keying material during the group life...
متن کاملSecure Multicast Key Distribution for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Many emerging applications in mobile adhoc networks involve group-oriented communication. Multicast is an efficient way of supporting group oriented applications, mainly in mobile environment with limited bandwidth and limited power. For using such applications in an adversarial environment as military, it is necessary to provide secure multicast communication. Key management is the fundamental...
