A New Secure and Computational Efficient Multicast Key Distribution for Wireless Networks

摘要

In the present research work a simulation mechanism has been designed and implemented for a secure, computation efficient and dynamic multicast key distribution system that can be applicable to wireless networks. The present mechanism uses the concept of Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) codes to enhance the computation efficiency of the multicast key distribution system. Also an attempt has been made to improve the security of the multicast key distribution system against the previous multicast group members that had turned into adversaries. By encrypting the newly generated keys with the older one may provide improved security to the system against these adversaries. The DES algorithm has been used for encryption of the new session keys. The implemented results have presented and discussed.
