Mykil: a highly scalable key distribution protocol for large group multicast
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of Mykil, which is a new key distribution protocol for secure group multicast. Mykil has been designed to be scalable to large group sizes. It is based on a combination of group-based hierarchy and key-based hierarchy systems for group key management. Important advantages of Mykil include a fast rekeying operation for large group sizes, continuous availability of the key management service in a disconnected network environment, an ability to map the group structure to the underlying network infrastructure, robustness, support for user mobility, and support for smaller hand-held devices.

متن کاملBatch Rekeying in Mykil Key Management System
This paper describes support for batch rekeying in Mykil, a key management system for supporting secure group multicast. Batch rekeying in Mykil allows for substantial reductions in the cost and complexity of rekeying operations, arguably the expensive portion of the system. By accumulating join and leave operations and utilizing an algorithmic approach to minimize the number of necessary rekey...
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 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 کاملComparison of Scalable Key Distribution Schemes for Secure Group Communication
Scalable secure key distribution is the most important feature of a scalable secure group communication protocol. Most of the existing scalable secure group communication protocols are based on a hierarchical key distribution tree. These schemes can be classified as hierarchical node based schemes and hierarchical key based schemes. In this paper; we compare recently proposed hierarchical key d...
