Performance Analysis of Batch Rekey Algorithm for Secure Group Communications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The efficiency of rekeying is a main factor that influences the performance of secure group communications. Periodic batch rekeying for users join/leave is an effective way to improve the efficiency of rekeying. In this paper, we introduce queue theory into the batch rekey algorithm, and construct a model of batch rekey algorithm based on the queue theory. We then analyze the performance influence of the parameters—rekeying periods and the degree of key tree. Finally, we found 3-degree key tree is the best structure for the batch rekey algorithm, and we also analyze the reason why it is not consistent with the result before.

Distributed Collaborative Key Agreement Protocols for Dynamic Peer Groups
We consider several distributed collaborative key agreement protocols for dynamic peer groups. This problem has several important characteristics which make it different from traditional secure group communication. They are (1) distributed nature in which there is no centralized key server, (2) collaborative nature in which the group key is contributory; i.e., each group member will collaborati...

Advances in wireless communications and 5 mobile computing have led to the emergence of group 6 communications and applications over wireless. In many of 7 these group interactions, new members can join and current 8 members can leave at any time, and existing members 9 must communicate securely to achieve application-specific 10 missions or network-specific functionality. Since wireless 11 net...
متن کاملA comparative performance analysis of reliable group rekey transport protocols for secure multicast
Scalable group rekeying is one of the important problems that needs to be addressed in order to support secure multicast communications for large and dynamic groups. One of the challenging issues that arises in scalable group rekeying is the problem of delivering the updated keys to the members of the group in a reliable and timely manner. In this paper, we present a new scalable and reliable k...
متن کاملOn rekey policies for secure group applications
Secure distribution of information to authorized recipients is an important prerequisite for group applications with commercial potential. Typically in such applications data traffic is encrypted using a single key; that key in turn is distributed securely to the group using one of several mechanisms that rely on a set of “key encryption” keys assigned to each user. As users join and leave the ...

We investigate performance characteristics of secure group communication systems (GCSs) in mobile ad hoc networks that employ intrusion detection techniques for dealing with insider attacks tightly coupled with rekeying techniques for dealing with outsider attacks. The objective is to identify optimal settings including the best intrusion detection interval and the best batch rekey interval und...
