A group-key agreement protocol secure against the malleability attacks
Seiko Arita, Akihiko Sakuma
In group key agreement protocols, it is important to consider the effects of existence of malicious insiders. In this paper, we define a type of key-control attacks and the security against them for group key agreement protocols with malicious insiders. Then, we give a first ideal functionality of group key agreement that takes key-control attacks (as well as key-integrity attacks) into consideration, and construct a group key agreement protocol that securely realizes the ideal functionality. The construction is efficient enough for practical uses, being comprised of 2 rounds and n messages for n-party groups.
