Abstract

Multicast is rapidly becoming an important mode of communication as well as a good platform for building group-oriented services. However, to be used for trusted communication, current multicast schemes must be supplemented by mechanisms for protecting traffic, controlling participation, and restricting access of unauthorized users to the data exchanged by the participants. We consider fundamental security issues in building a trusted multicast facility. We discuss techniques for group-based data encryption, authentication of participants, and preventing unauthorized transmissions and receptions
