Optimal Tree Structure for Key Management of Simultaneous Join/Leave in Secure Multicast

چکیده
As applications of secure multicast in networks continue to grow, the demand for an efficient scheme to manage group keys for secure group communication becomes more urgent. In this paper, we propose a new key tree structure for group key management. With this optimal tree structure, system resources such as network bandwidth can be saved. We devise an algorithm to generate this optimal tree and show that it can be implemented efficiently. We also design an adaptive system for group key management which consists of four components: a request receiver, a key tree update controller, a delay calculator and a request predictor. This system can maintain the optimality of the key tree dynamically. It is verified by theoretical analysis and simulation result that the performance of our scheme is better than other schemes based on traditional tree structures.

Key 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...
متن کاملAn Efficient Group Key Management Using Code for Key Calculation for Simultaneous Join/Leave: CKCS
This paper presents an efficient group key management protocol, CKCS (Code for Key Calculation in Simultaneous join/leave) for simultaneous join/leave in secure multicast. This protocol is based on logical key hierarchy. In this protocol, when new members join the group simultaneously, server sends only the group key for those new members. Then, current members and new members calculate the nec...
متن کاملProficient Key Tree Structure for Dynamic Multicast Groups
Most of the group key management schemes focus on reducing the update messages. Majority of the groups are dynamic in nature and large. To assuage the scalability problem, various key structures have been proposed. In dynamic multicast groups, key updates are complicated since group members join and leave at any time. Hierarchical tree structure is suitable for maintaining multicast group membe...
