Abstract

For secure communications in using multicast applications such as Cable-TV, It is essential for us to manage shared keys to encrypt/decrypt data through crypto algorithm as DES, which is called Group Key Management. In GKM, It is a hot issue that reduces the number of join/leave operation and subgroup key in key tree model. In this paper, we propose optimized mechanism of group key management required for providing multicast security.
