Abstract

Group-oriented applications are urgent in network communications for bandwidth economizations. The security issues in multicast are also urgent to be addressed. And the group key management is the foundation stone of multicast security. It has been extensively studied in recent years. In this article, we introduce the security problem in multicast-oriented communication. Then we introduce the centralized group key management protocols, and analyze the decentralization group key management. Finally, we discuss the new research directions in group key management.
