With group member increasing, traditional reliable multicast protocol can not deal with them fully. Gossip-based group key distribution idea for wide-area dissemination was provided. It is based on an gossip-based loss recovery control mechanism. It can provide a probabilistic reliable guarantee for a information dissemination to reach every group member, which can achieve scalability and reliability. To achieve full reliability, three layers protocol model in group key distribution was provided. One is best effect layer, which provides unreliable dissemination. Other is gossip-based loss recovery layer, which provides probabilistic reliable guarantee. Last is vsync-based layer, which provide deterministic loss recovery. We integrate probabilistic loss recovery method with deterministic one. The model possess scalability that probabilistic method has and full reliability prosthesis by vsync-based. To evaluate the effectiveness of gossip technique in scalable and reliable multicast protocols. We have compared gossip protocol with other reliable multicast protocols. Experimental result shows that gossip protocol has better scalability than other.展开更多

In this paper, minimum exact cover problem for group key distribution （GMECP） is presented, and a heuristic solution is testified. Then an algorithm of batch rekeying with renewing cost tending to zero is illustrated, which can process any large number of change requests with best security guaranteed. Efficiency analysis and simulation test show that the achievement can improve the efficiency of any tree-based group key management.展开更多

In this paper, we present a scalable authenticated scheme for group key distribution based on a combinatorial exclusion basis system （EBS） for efficiency and one-way hash chains for authentication. The proposed scheme guarantees a lightweight authenticated group key updating procedure and is efficient in terms of storage, communication and computation overheads.展开更多
