Identity-based constant round group key exchange protocol via secret-share

Abstract

Abstract: Group key management is one of the basic building blocks in securing group communication. A number of solutions to group key exchange have been proposed, but most of them are not scalable and require a number of rounds linear in the number of group members. We formally present a constant-round Identity-based protocol with forward secrecy for group key exchange, which is provably secure in the security model introduced by Bresson et al. Our protocol focuses on round efficiency and the number of communication round is only two. And, the protocol provides a batch verification technique, which simultaneously verifies the validity of messages from other group participants and greatly improves computational efficiency. Moreover, in our protocol, it is no necessary of always-online key generation center during the execution of the protocol compared to other Identity-based protocols. Key-Words:- provable security, identity-based, group key exchange, constant round, secret-share. 1

Constructing UC Secure and Constant-Round Group Key Exchange Protocols via Secret Sharing

Chunjie Cao, Chao Jun Yang, Jianfeng Ma +1 more

Group key exchange (GKE) is one of the basic building blocks in securing group communication. A number of solutions to GKE problem have been proposed, but most of them are not scalable and require a number of rounds linear with the number of group members. We present a method of constructing constant-round and identity-based protocol via secret sharing for GKE within universally composability (UC) framework. The resultant protocol focuses on round efficiency and three rounds of communication are required. The protocol allows the batch verification of messages signed by all other group participants. Moreover, compared with other identity-based protocols, the key generation center (KGC) in our protocol is not always online.

Provable efficient certificateless group key exchange protocol

Chunjie Cao, Jianfeng Ma, SangJae Moon

Certificateless public key cryptography (CL-PKC) avoids the inherent escrow of identity-based cryptography and does not require certificates to guarantee the authenticity of public keys. Based on CL-PKC, we present an efficient constant-round group key exchange protocol, which is provably secure under the intractability of computation Diffie-Hellman problem. Our protocol is a contributory key exchange with perfect forward secrecy and has only two communication rounds. So it is more efficient than other protocols. Moreover, our protocol provides a method to design efficient constant-round group key exchange protocols and most secret sharing schemes could be adopted to construct our protocol.

1-round dynamic group key agreement

YE Cheng-qing

Among the conventional round group key agreement protocol,the minimal number of message exchange round is 2.The efficiency of the protocol is affected by the number of message exchange round.Using a secret shared technology that two parties share a common static secret without any interaction between them,an efficient one-round ID-based authenticated group key agreement scheme was proposed and extended to the dynamic group.The number of message exchanged during the key agreement in this one-round protocol is reduced to half of that in two-round protocols.So the efficiency of its communication is improved.The proposed scheme was proved to be secure and be forward and backward secure,and can be applied to the secure group communication where the perfect forward secure is not needed.

Round-optimal ID-based dynamic authenticated group key agreement

Fei Li, Dongqing Xie, Wei Gao +2 more

A group key agreement protocol provides a set of users with a shared secret key to achieve cryptographic goal. When membership changes, group session key should be updated efficiently and securely. Hence, dynamic group key agreement protocols are of practical significance. Identity-based group key agreement protocols are preferred to certificate-based ones since identity-based protocols can simplify public key management procedure. Most of previous dynamic group key agreement protocols need at least two rounds to establish or refresh group session keys. In this paper, an identity-based dynamic authenticated group key agreement (DAGKA) protocol is presented. It is round-optimal, since: 1) in setup and join algorithms, only one round of communication is required; 2) in leave algorithm, there is no message exchange among group members. Joining members cannot compute previous session keys and leaving members cannot compute subsequent session keys. The protocol is provably secure. Its AKE-security is proved under decisional bilinear Diffie-Hellman (DBDH) assumption. In addition, the protocol resists key control attack and achieves forward security.
