Title
An efficient key tree management algorithm for LKH group key management
Abstract
The efficiency and security of secure group communication are dependent on the group key manager (GKM), which manages the group keys and membership Although a GKM can employ any kind of group key management algorithm, we adopt the logical key hierarchy (LKH) in this paper for its efficiency and scalability LKH is a tree-based group key management algorithm and it is more efficient when the key tree is balanced However, only a few papers or documents have dealt with practical tree balancing techniques so far In this paper, we propose LKHTreeManager, an LKH key tree management algorithm that is efficient for a large and highly dynamic secure group The proposed technique efficiently manages the key tree by combining LKH and AVL (Adelson-Velskii and Landis) tree We show that LKHTreeManager reduces the membership processing time, as well as the number of key messages.
