Abstract

Multicast or group communication enables the distribution of the content in a one-to-many fashion. In multicast communication, the major challenges are dynamicity of group, forward and backward secrecy of the data. There are issues like single-point failure in centralized Group Key Management (GKM), false participation attack in participatory GKM, member dynamicity in Logical Key Hierarchy, etc. To address the various issues of centralized, participatory and LKH GKM; in this paper, we proposed a Key Management Scheme for Secure Group Communication. In the proposed scheme, network members share the computational load of the server and scheme achieves the forward and backward secrecy. The proposed scheme is well suitable for one-to-many mode communication.
