In an Ubiquitous Environment, the growth of various services and equipment is forecasted to increase both the multicast users and diverse hacking attacks of the multicast key. Rapid increasing of multicast users and application security protocols reduce the performance of the Central key management system. Accordingly. We propose to elevate the functionality of the key management mechanism for greater efficiency and stability of the multicast services. in this paper The existing key management mechanism comparison and simulation will analyze these problems. We propose the advanced SMKD (Secure Multicast Key Distribution) mechanism application of the small group and key length control new security protocol by methods to solve these problems. The SMKD Model in this paper will help reduce loading the key distribution and encryption execution of a central key management system, and this model can also ensure stability to a central key management system by efficient key management.

With the spread of computer and development of internet service, the varied contents and digital data has been produced, then provided. The digital contents are more efficiently able to be created, produced, provided as well as distributed, on the other hand, its own copyrights seem to be more easily broken than analogue contents due to the convenience to make copies of original contents. Therefore, protecting copyrights recently become the key issue. DRM(Digital Rights Management) is the current technology to protect digital contents from duplication but it sometimes causes problems in the key-management. In this thesis, we would first like to analyze DRM and find out some trouble in the key-management of it. Finally, we will show CDMS(CEK Distributed Management System) to improve DRM out of the key-management problem and continue to study for better key-management system with it.

A key role in cloud computing systems that is becoming an issue is implementing a database on untrusted cloud servers requiring the complexity of key management. This study proposes a key management system using Self Proxy Servers to minimize key executions and improve the performance of cloud services by generating Self-Creating Algorithms where the data owner is not directly concerned with related keys when a user sends an encrypted database a query. The Self Proxy Server supports active and autonomous key managements as a distributed server if any trouble should arise from a cloud key server and for an efficient cloud key management. Therefore, the key management system provides secure cloud services by supporting confidentiality of a cloud server database.

There are some problems on the system that uses a password comprising a digital signature to identify the secret key owner under the public key infrastructure. For example, the password can be difficult to remember or easy to be disclosure, and users should make more complex password to protect it. A number of studies have been proceeded in order to overcome these defects using the fingerprint identification technologies, but they need to change the current standard of public key infrastructure. On the suggested private key escrow system, the private key can be withdrawn only through the enrollment and identification of a fingerprint template after it is saved to a reliable third system. Therefore, this new private key escrow system can remove previous inconveniences of managingthe private key on current public key infrastructure, and it exhibited superior results in terms of the evaluation items when compared with the integrated method of the existing fingerprint identification and public key infrastructure.

This paper presents an achievable secure videoconferencing system based on quantum key encryption in which key management can be directly applied and embedded in a server/client videoconferencing model using, for example, OpenMeeting. A secure key management methodology is proposed to ensure both a trusted quantum network and a secure videoconferencing system. The proposed methodology presents architecture on how to share secret keys between key management servers and distant parties in a secure domain without transmitting any secrets over insecure channels. The advantages of the proposed secure key management methodology overcome the limitations of quantum point-to-point key sharing by simultaneously distributing keys to multiple users; thus, it makes quantum cryptography a more practical and secure solution. The time required for the encryption and decryption may cause a few seconds delay in video transmission, but this proposed method protects against adversary attacks.

To ensure the security of wireless sensor networks, it is important to have a robust key management scheme. In this paper, we propose a Quorum-based key management scheme. A specific sensor, called as key distribution server (KDS), generates a key matrix and establishes a quorum system from the key matrix. The quorum system is a set system of subsets that the intersection of any two subsets is non-empty. In our scheme, each sensor is assigned a subset of the quorum system as its pre-distributed keys. Whenever any two sensors need a shared key, they exchange their IDs, and then each sensor by itself finds a common key from its assigned subset. A shared key is then generated by the two sensors individually based on the common key. By our scheme, no key is needed to be refreshed as a sensor leaves the network. Upon a sensor joining the network, the KDS broadcasts a message containing the joining sensor ID. After receiving the broadcast message, each sensor updates the key which is in common with the new joining one. Only XOR and hash operations are required to be executed during key update process, and each sensor needs to update one key only. Furthermore, if multiple sensors would like to have a secure group communication, the KDS broadcasts a message containing the partial information of a group key, and then each sensor in the group by itself is able to restore the group key by using the secret sharing technique without cooperating with other sensors in the group.

The security key management function is a key element to secure network environment, and many protocols include IPSec, HIP, etc. demand this function. There are two solutions to provide the key management function in the network layer, one is a method for storing security key material in the directory, and the other is a method for storing security key material in DNS. In this paper we present an implementation of key management system by LDAP. We deployed the open source solutions for directory service(OpenLDAP), cryptographic algorithm (FLINT/C), IPSec(FreeS/WAN), and verified the key management system by the encrypted message exchange and the interoperability test by un daemon.

The widespread use of cryptographic technologies is complicated by inconsistencies and duplication in the key management systems supporting their applications. The proliferation of key management systems or protocols also results in higher operational and infrastructure costs, and fails in interoperability. Thus, it is essential to realize key management interoperability between different and heterogeneous cryptosystems. This paper presents a practical and separable key management system for heterogeneous public-key cryptosystems. We achieve the interoperability between different cryptosystems via cryptography approaches rather than communication protocols. With our scheme, each client can freely use any kind of cryptosystemthat it likes. The proposed scheme has two advantages over the key management interoperability protocol introduced by the organization for the advancement of structured information standards. One is that all the related operations do not involve the communication protocol and thus no special restrictions are taken on the client devices. The other is that the proposed scheme does not suffer from single-point fault and bottleneck problems.

This paper shows the key management system in a small metallic cabinet using a small UHF RFID tags. Each key chain with a key has a custom-designed small RFID tag antenna. There are 6 metallic racks in the small cabinet, and each rack can hold 60 key chains. Therefore, the small cabinet can hold 360 key chains with tags. The 360 key chains with RFID tags in a cabinet are recognized by RFID key chain management system. Even though it is hard to recognize 360 tags in the a cabinet, this RFID key management system with small custom designed RFID tags can recognize all the tags in the small cabinet. To read the all the tags, the locations of antennas and tag shapes are optimized. The reading rates based on the bios-version of the reader and the locations of the reader antennas are compared.

The SCADA(Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems are used to control some critical national infrastructures such as electricity, gas, and water distribution systems. Recently, there are many researches on key management scheme for secure communication due to change to the open network environment. We propose a new key management method which is established on ID-based cryptosystem using pairing on MTU(Master Terminal Unit), Sub-MTU, and RTU(Remote Terminal Unit). Furthermore, we present a redistribution protocol of private key of each device and a system recovery protocol as a countermeasure of exposure of KMS(Key Management System) master key which is occurred by some unexpected accidents or malicious attacks.
