Elliptic Curve Based Dynamic Contributory Group Key Agreement Protocol for Secure Group Communication over Ad-hoc Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to propose an efficient and simpler Contributory Group Key Agreement protocol (CGKA) based on Elliptic Curve Diffie Hellman (ECDH). In this CGKA protocol, a member acts as a group controller (GC) and forms two-party groups with remaining group members and generates an ECDH-style shared key per each two-party group. It then combines these keys into a single group key and acts as a normal group member. This paper also addresses a Dynamic Contributory Group Key Agreement protocol (DCGKA) by extending CGKA to dynamic groups. The proposed protocol has been compared with other popular DH and ECDH based group key distribution protocols and satisfactory results were obtained.

Ternary Tree Based Group Key Agreement for Cognitive Radio MANETs
This paper presents an efficient contributory group key agreement protocol for secure communication between the lightweight small devices in cognitive radio mobile ad hoc networks. A Ternary tree based Group ECDH.2 (TGECDH.2) protocol that uses a batch rekeying algorithm during membership change is proposed in this paper. This ternary tree is a balanced key tree in which appropriate insertion p...
متن کاملElliptic curve and password based dynamic key agreement in wireless ad-hoc networks
Ad-hoc networking is a relatively new operating mode for rapid mobile host interconnection. However, it suffers from the lack of a fixed infrastructure that forces each adhoc host to rely on each other, in order to maintain the network stability and functionality. This singularity of adhoc networks introduces several issues, most of which concern the system’s security. This paper focuses on inv...
متن کاملProvably secure and efficient identity-based key agreement protocol for independent PKGs using ECC
Key agreement protocols are essential for secure communications in open and distributed environments. Recently, identity-based key agreement protocols have been increasingly researched because of the simplicity of public key management. The basic idea behind an identity-based cryptosystem is that a public key is the identity (an arbitrary string) of a user, and the corresponding private key is ...
متن کاملA Novel Approach towards Cost Effective Region-Based Group Key Agreement Protocol for Secure Group Communication
This paper addresses an interesting security problem in wireless ad hoc networks: the Dynamic Group Key Agreement key establishment. For secure group communication in an Ad hoc network, a group key shared by all group members is required. This group key should be updated when there are membership changes (when the new member joins or current member leaves) in the group. In this paper, We propos...
متن کاملA Group Key Agreement With Efficient Communication for Ad Hoc Networks
In distributed ad hoc sensor networks, scalable group key agreement protocol plays an important role. They are designed to provide a group of users with a shared secret key such that the users can securely communicate with each other over a public network. In most of previous group key agreement protocols, the number of messages sent by all users increases with the number of all participants. I...
