Key Management for Secure Group Communications with Heterogeneous Users in Wireless Networks

The key update cost is an important parameter of the performance evaluation of the secure group communications in the wireless networks. It is a very public issue to reduce the key update cost. In the tree-based multicast key management scheme, a user is randomly assigned to one of the all leaf nodes. In this thesis, we divide the users into two groups which are new call users and handoff call users. Then, we propose that new call users are assigned to some of the special leaf nodes in the key tree and the handoff call users are assigned to others. This scheme is called class-based multicast key management scheme. We analyze this two multicast key management schemes for secure group communications. This thesis shows that class-based scheme could reduce the key update cost in some special case.
