A group key agreement protocol allows a group of user to share a key which may later be used to achieve certain cryptographic goals. In this paper, we propose a new scalable two-round ID-based group key agreement protocol which would be well fit to a Pay-TV system, additionally. to the fields of internet stock quotes, audio and music deliveries, software updates and the like. Our protocol improves the three round poop key agreement protocol of Nam et al., resulting in upgrading the computational efficiency by using the batch verification technique in pairing-based cryptography. Also our protocol simplifies the key agreement procedures by utilizing ID-based system. We prove the security of our protocol under the Computational Diffie-Hellman assumption and the Bilinear Decisional Diffie-Hellman assumption. Also we analyze its efficiency.
