Abstract :
Multicasting is an efficient communication mechanism to deliver information to a number of recipients. Due to the broadcast nature of wireless communication, multicasting has great potential for commercial and military applications in wireless networks. In this paper, we propose a secure and efficient key management scheme, hybrid key management (HKM), for the wireless multicasting. Compared to the existing multicasting key management approaches, our proposal can achieve operation efficiency.
