Abstract

In this paper, we discuss about a generalization of the Key Distribution Pattern which was proposed by C. Mitchell and F. Piper[6]. It is allowing secure communication between every n-pair of users($n\leq2$) in a large network for reducing storage requirements. We further suggest a generalization of K. Quinn's bounds in [9] for the number of subkeys in such general Key Distribution Patterns.
