While the technical issues of securing unicast communications for client-server computing are fairly well-understood, the technical issues of securing group communications are not. The existing approach to improve the scalability is to decompose a large group of clients into many subgroups and employ a hierarchy of group security agents. In this paper, the secure group communications using key graphs and the implementation of a different hierarchical approach to improve the scalability and secure group communication using key graphs has been presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
