Changing group key is necessary for the remaining members when a new member joins or a member leaves the group in multicast communications. It is required to guarantee perfect forward and backward confidentiality. Unfortunately, in large groups with frequent membership changes, key changes become the primary bottleneck for scalable group. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for providing efficient group key distribution in large and dynamic groups. Unlike existing secure multicast protocols, our protocol is scalable to large groups because both the frequency and computational overhead of re-keying is determined by the size of a subgroup instead of the size of the whole group, and offers mechanism to prevent the subgroup managers with group access control from having any access to the multicast data that are transfered by sender. It also provides security service for preserving privacy in wireless computing environments.

Multicast services are provided on the Internet in fast increasing. Therefore it is important to keep security for multicast communication. If a member of the group is removed, new group key has to be generated and distributed to all remaining members of group. Minimizing number of messages and operation cost for generation of the composite keys to be used to encrypting group key are important evaluating criteria of multicast key management scheme since generation and distribution of new keys for rekeying require expensive operation. Periodic batch rekeying can reduce these important parameters rather than rekeying sequentially in fashion one after another. In this paper, Hamming distance is calculated between every members to be removed. In batch rekeying the members with Hamming distance less than threshold are selected for rekeying procedure. With running the round assignment algorithm in the case of removing several members simultaneously, our scheme has advantages of reducing messages and operation cost for generation of the composite keys and eliminating possibility of collusion attack for rekeying. We evaluate performance of round assignment algorithm through simulation and show that our scheme is excellent after performance comparison of existent schemes and our scheme.

The multicast transmitting the real-time data to groups may easily have many attacks from abnormal attacks because it has many links as compared to the unicast. The existing group key management architectures for preventing these problems are designed for protocols suitable for a large scale. Thus these architectures applied to a small scale routing protocols may have many overheads with key distribution and a constant core tree. Therefore this paper proposes a groups key management protocol for a secure multicast in PIM-SM multicast group communication. The proposed method divide multicast groups with RO(Rendezvous-Point), and subgroup key managers are established in each RP and can be transmitted groups keys between senders and receivers, so the security cannel is set up for secure data transfer, And this does not have needs of the data translation for group keys and the new key distribution for path change. As a result of this, the data transmission time can be reduced.

Real-time Internet multi-media services requires fast data transmission, QoS and IP multicast. MARS is proposed to support IP multicast in the ATM Networks based on Internet, and RSVP is proposed to guarantee QoS in the Internet which is originally based on only best-effort service. In this paper, we propose two mechanisms to support IP multicast service involving QoS support over the ATM networks with MARS architecture based on multiple MCSs. In the first mechanism, when an ATM host requests joining into a specific multicast group, the MARS selects a proper MCS among the multiple MCSs to minimize the average time of transfer delay between the sender and the group members. In the second mechanism, when the RSVP reservation message from group member arrive at the MARS, the MARS which can process the RSVP reservation message select again the MCS with using the MCS management table. Finally, we recommend the mechanism to keep the QoS of Internet service and to reduce the processing-overhead between MARS and MCS.

In this paper, a new forward error correction (FEC) protocol is proposed for point-to-multipoint satellite links. Link-layer error control protocols in point-to-multipoint satellite links impose several problems such as unreliability and receiver-heterogeneity. To resolve the problem of heterogeneous error rates at different receivers, the proposed scheme exploits multiple multicast channels to which each receiver tunes. The more channels a receiver tunes to, the more powerful error correcting capability it achieves. Based on its own channel condition, each receiver tunes to as many channels as it needs, which prevents from receiving unwanted parities. Furthermore, each receiver saves the decoding time, processing overhead, and processing energy. Performance evaluation shows that the proposed scheme guarantees the target PER while saving energy. The proposed technique is highly adaptive to the channel variation with respect to the throughput efficiency, and provides scalable PER and throughput efficiency.

Since multicast in the mobile environments is based on packet transmission and independent addressing, this paper propose an improved scheme about how to manage the multicasting group and to set the communication path in the mobile environment by applying two-level addressing mode, which is similar to mobile IP, for location-independent address setting. And we propose the smooth handoff scheme that minimizes the handoff delay for mobile multimedia services. Performance analysis by the modified NS-2 network simulator has showed that the proposed scheme is better than other techniques in terms of handoff delay and transmitted packets' throughput.

특성 사용자 그룹에게만 음성과 영상 데이터를 전송할 수 있는 통신 메커니즘을 가진 멀티캐스트는 유니캐스트와 비교해서 통신 링크의 수가 상당히 많으므로 부당한 공격자로부터 신분위장 서비스 부인 공격과 재전송 공격 부인, 트래픽 관찰 공격을 받기가 쉽다. 그러므로 본논문에서는 현재 멀티캐스트 통신을 위해서 제안 및 사용되고 있는 여러 가지 멀티캐스트 라우팅 프로토콜 중에서 보다 효율적인 보안 체계를 구성할 수 있는 공유 트리를 기반으로 하는 코어 기반 트리(CBT: Core Based Tree)를 이용하여 3개로 구성된 그룹키 KEK TEK을 획득함으로서 안전한 멀티캐스트 통신이 가능한 키 분배 프로토콜을 설계하였다 그리고 패트리넷을 이용하여 안전성을 검증하였다.

In this paper, we propose a method that can construct efficiently a P2P overlay multicast network composed of many heterogeneous peers in communication bandwidth, processing power and a storage size by selecting a peer in a distributed fashion using an ant-colony theory that is one of the computational intelligence methods. The proposed method considers not only the capacity of a peer but also the number of children peers supported by the peer and the hop distance between a multicast source and the peer when selecting a parent peer of a newly joining node. Thus, an P2P multicast overlay network is constructed efficiently in that the distances between a multicast source and peers are maintained small. In addition, the proposed method works in a distributed fashion in that peers use their local information to find a parent node. Thus, compared to a centralized method where a centralized server maintains and controls the overlay construction process, the proposed method scales well. Through simulations, we show that, by making a few high capacity peers support a lot of low capacity peers, the proposed method can maintain the size of overlay network small even there are a few thousands of peers in the network.

We developed a multicast communication packet radio protocol using a time-sharing tablet system ("wireless token ring") to achieve the efficient exchange of files among packet radio terminals attached to swans. This paper provides an overview of the system and the protocol of the packet communications. The packet device forming the main part of the transceiver developed is the Texas Instruments CC2500. This device consists of one call-up channel and one data transmission channel and could improve error frame correction using FEC (forward error correction) with 34.8 kbps MSK and receiving power of at least -64 dBm (output 1 dBm at distance of 200 m using 3 dBi antenna). A time-sharing framework was determined for the wireless token ring using call sign ordinals to prevent transmission right loss. Tests using eight stations showed that resend requests with the ARQ (automatic repeat request) system are more frequent for a receiving power supply of -62 dBm or less. A wireless token ring system with fixed transmission times is more effective. This communication protocol is useful in cases in which frequency resources are limited; the energy consumed is not dependent on the transmission environment (preset transmission times); multiple terminals are concentrated in a small area; and information (position data and vital data) is shared among terminals under circumstances in which direct communication between a terminal and the center is not possible. The method allows epidemiological predictions of avian influenza infection routes based on vital data and relationships among individual birds based on the network topology recorded by individual terminals. This communication protocol is also expected to have applications in the formation of multiple in vivo micromachines or terminals that are inserted into living organisms.
