Assuring the security of group communications such as tole-conference and software distribution requires a common group key be shared among the legal members in a secure manner. Especially for large groups with frequent membership change, efficient rekey mechanism is essential for scalability. One of the most popular ways to provide sealable rekey is to partition the group into several subgroups. In this paper, we propose a two-layered key management scheme which combines DEP and CBT, a protocol in which subgroup manager cannot access the multicast data and another that has a multi-core, respectively. We also select sub-group key management protocols suitable for our structure and design new rekey protocols to exclude the subgroup managers from the multicast data. Compared to previous protocols based on CBT, our scheme provides forward secrecy, backward secrecy and scalability. This would reduce the number of encryption and decryption for a rekey message and would improve the efficiency number of rekey messages and the amount of information related to group members that group managers must maintain compared to DEP.

The IP multicasting service system based on IGMP(Internet Group Management Protocol) is the receiver initiated multicasting system that all receivers must join to and leave from the server of multicasting service. The IGMP is less effective and reliable to apply the education system that all computers of students ore synchronized a teacher's computer. A proposed middle-ware in this paper provides the reliable data transferring and the server initiated multicasting system that client as student's PC is controled by a multicasting server as teacher's PC, This middle-ware is consisted with two major component, The one is the group manager that handle the status informations of members in each group. Another is the reliable sender/receiver that has The transmission protocol based on NAK message and flow control. As the results of the test that 22khz digital voice data and 1024$\times$768 24bit color image data were tested for 30 PCs connected with 100baseT, the voice data was completely without error transferred and the image data was successfully transferred with 0.004% retransmit rate under 2 frames/sec load.

Recently, with the IPTV services, e-learning, real-time broadcasting and e-contents, many application services need the multicasting routing protocol. In this paper, the performance of the algorithm to assign the rendezvous router (RP: rendezvous point) in the center-based multicasting mesh network is analyzed. The estimated distance to select RP in the candidate nodes is calculated, and the node minimizing the distance is selected as the optimal RP. We estimate the distance by using the maximum distance, average distance, and mean of the maximum and average distance between the RP and members. The performance of the algorithm is compared with the optimal algorithm of all enumeration. With the assumptions of mesh network and randomly positioned for sources and members, the simulations for different parameters are studied. From the simulation results, the performance deviation between the algorithm with minimum cost and optimal method is evaluated as 6.2% average.

Two distinct features required in transport service and protocol to meet new multimedia applications requirements are multicast transmission capability and enhanced QoS facility. In this paper, we presents major functions and facilities of enhanced communications transport service definition supporting these requirements. At first, major fundamental issues, that should be handled to design multi-peer communcation service and protocol, are resoved and applied to design service definition. Secondly, we proposed several new functions for enhanced transport service such as heterogeneous TC establishment, invitation capability, TC-ownership transfer, restriction of transmit concurrency. The detils of proposed enhanced transport service are TC creation, TC invitation, TC join, multicase data transfer, pause of data transfer, resulme of data transfer, report of specific status, TC leave, TC termination, TC-ownership transfer, Token transfer services. The proposed transport service was submitted and accepted as a draft text for committee draft of international standard by the international standradization body such as JTC1/SC6 and ITU-T SG 7.

To construct seamless collaborative environments, what all participants intent should be delivered, and visual elements such gesture, facial expression, and ambiance should be shared with all participants. In this paper, we propose high-quality video service to support DV(digital video) and HDV(high-definition DV) based on Access Grid(AG) which is a prevalent collaborative system. The proposed service is designed for employing versatile media tools and codecs with SDP(session description protocol) and SAP(session announcement protocol). We also design network-adaptive video transmission module to mitigate the impact of network fluctuation. This periodically monitors multicast performance and controls frame rate on sender side considering network condition. The experimental results over the test bed show that proposed service enhances quality of AG video service and provides seamless high-quality video transport by mitigating the impact of network fluctuation.

IPTV(Internet Protocol Television) is an emerging technology in which telecommunication and broadcasting technologies are converged. IPTV service providers usually multicast scrambled contents. And only legitimate subscribers who pass the access control can de-scramble and use the contents. In order to ensure revenues, providers oftentimes employ password-based authentication protocols that ensure secure authentication processes between set-top box and smart card. In this paper, we propose a fingerprint-based 1-out-of-n authentication protocol which provides convenient and more secure authentication process in some organizational environments. The proposed scheme shows that only those who provide legitimate fingerprint information can be authenticated even in a situation that both password and smart card are compromised.

Objectives of shipboard integration networks are to exchange and manage integrated information. Shipboard integration networks use UDP(User Datagram Protocol) multicast for the exchange of information. However, such information can be missed or damaged because UDP can't guarantee reliability. The standard of shipboard integration networks defines error log functions for the missed or damaged information. In this paper, we analyze internal and external log functions. The internal log function records errors internally, and the external log function sends error messages to a log server and records them in a database. We also develop a log processing module and log server for the external log function.

The DDS (Data Distribution Service) specification defines a discovery method for finding participants and endpoints in a DDS network. The standard discovery mechanism uses the multicast protocol and finds all the endpoints in the network. Because of using multicasting, discovery may fail in a network with different segments. Other problems include that memory space wastes due to storing information of all the endpoints. The Topic Name Service (TNS) solves these problems by unicasting only the endpoints, which are required for communication. However, an extra delay time is inevitable in components of TNS, i.e, a front-end server, topic name servers, and a terminal server. In this paper, we analyze the performance of TNS. Delay times in the servers of TNS and time required to receive endpoint information are measured. Time to finish discovery and number of receiving endpoints compare with the standard discovery method.

DDS middleware transmits data packets through unicast or multicast method for discovering endpoints on a distributed network and exchanging information between endpoints. Depending on the communicating situation between endpoints, the transmission method which is used to exchange packets is already defined by the standard protocol. However, the predefined usage of the transmission method has a problem that the middleware does not deal with increasing usage of the system resources properly when the configuration of endpoint is changed dynamically. To solve this problem, we propose the scheme of selecting the packet transmission method in an adaptive manner.
