18th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA'04) Volume 2 A Proposal and its Evaluations of a Re-keying Method for Dynamic Secure Group Communications Fukuoka, Japan March 29-March 31 ISBN: 0-7695-2051-0
Many enterprise networks require flexible dynamic group communications on the Internet. When we develop these systems on multicast communication framework, various types of security threats will occur. As a result, construction of secure group communication that protects users from intrusion and eavesdropping are very important matters.In this paper, we propose an efficient key distribution method for a secure group communication over multicast communication framework. In this method, we use IP multicast mechanism to shorten re-keying time to minimize adverse effect on communication. In addition, we introduce a proxy mechanism for replies from group members to the group manager to reduce traffic generated by re-keying.We define a multicast communication network model and evaluate the proposed method by computations using the model. From results of the evaluation, the proposed method will shorten the re-keying time and reduce concentration of traffic to the group management server in large systems.
