Abstract :
Group key agreement protocol is important for collaborative and group-oriented application. Recently, for a network that consists of devices with limited resource, group key management has become an issue for secure routing or multicast. In this letter, we present an efficient group key agreement protocol that is an improvement of the Burrnester-Desmedt algorithm. We generalize the Improvement, which doesn´t need the same modulus group for discrete logarithm problem
