In this paper, we propose a key establishment scheme for multicast CoAP security. For multicast CoAP applications, a CoAP Request message from a CoAP client is sent to a group of CoAP servers while each CoAP server responds with a unicast CoAP Response message. In this case, the CoAP Request message should be secured with a group key common to both the CoAP client and servers, while a pairwise key(unicast key) should be employed to secure each CoAP Response message. In the proposed protocol, the CoAP client and the CoAP server establish the group key and the pairwise key using the ECDH in the initial CoAP message exchange process. The proposed protocol, which is highly efficient and scalable, can replace DTLS Handshake and it can support end-to-end security by setting pairwise keys.

Most of the existing multicast routing protocols for ad-hoc networks do not take into account the efficiency of the protocol for the cases when there are large number of sources in the multicast group, resulting in either large overhead or poor data delivery ratio when the number of sources is large. In this paper, we propose a multicast routing protocol for ad-hoc networks, which particularly considers the scalability of the protocol in terms of the number of sources in the multicast groups. The proposed protocol designates a set of sources as the core sources. Each core source is a root of each tree that reaches all the destinations of the multicast group. The union of these trees constitutes the data delivery mesh, and each of the non-core sources finds the nearest core source in order to delegate its data delivery. For the efficient operation of the proposed protocol, it is important to have an appropriate number of core sources. Having too many of the core sources incurs excessive control and data packet overhead, whereas having too little of them results in a vulnerable and overloaded data delivery mesh. The data delivery mesh is optimally reconfigured through the periodic control message flooding from the core sources, whereas the connectivity of the mesh is maintained by a persistent local mesh recovery mechanism. The simulation results show that the proposed protocol achieves an efficient multicast communication with high data delivery ratio and low communication overhead compared with the other existing multicast routing protocols when there are multiple sources in the multicast group.

In case that group communication protocols assume every process is interested in all events occurring in a large scale group, the events multicasting to a subset of a large process group, such as a sensor network, potentially varying for every event based on their interests might lead to very high communication overhead on each individual process. Moreover, despite the importance of both guaranteeing message delivery order and supporting overlapped group using gossip based group communication for multicasting in sensor or P2P networks, there exist little research works on development of gossip-based protocols to satisfy all these requirements. In this paper, we present a new gossip-based causal message order guaranteeing multicast protocol based on local views and delegates representing subgroups and fully utilizing multi-group features to improve scalability. In the proposed protocol, the message delivery order in overlapped groups has been guaranteed consistently by all corresponding members of the groups including delegates. Therefore, these features of the proposed protocol might be significantly scalable rather than those of the protocols guaranteeing atomic order dependencies between multicast messages by hierarchical membership list of dedicated groups like traditional committee protocols and much stronger rather than fully decentralized protocols guaranteeing dependencies between multicast messages based on only local views. And the proposed protocol is a hybrid approach improving the inherent scalability of multicast nature by gossip-based technique in all communications.

Password-based authenticated group key exchange protocols provide a group of user, communicating over a public(insecure) channel and holding a common human-memorable password, with a session key to be used to construct secure multicast sessions for data integrity and confidentiality. In this paper, we present a password-based authenticated group key exchange protocol and prove the security in the random oracle model and the ideal cipher model under the intractability of the decisional Diffie-Hellman(DH) problem and computational DH problem. The protocol is scalable, i.e. constant round and with O(1) exponentiations per user, and provides forward secrecy.

오버레이 멀티캐스트는 응용 계층을 기반으로 멀티캐스트 트리를 구성함으로써 서비스 보급을 위한 비용 소모를 최소화하고 확장성 있는 일대다 통신 구조를 지원한다. 그러나 이를 이동망에 적용하기 위해서는 이동성 지원 메커니즘과 패킷 손실 및 패킷 중복 수신 방지 기능을 함께 지원하는 오버레이 멀티캐스트 기법이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위하여 오버레이 멀티캐스트 기법인 mRMCP를 제안한다. 이 기법은 응용 계층 기반의 Advertisement 기능을 이용하여 하위계층의 지원 없이 단말의 이동성을 지원한다. 또한 중계기와 단말 간 데이터 전송 시 독립적인 멀티캐스트 채널을 활용함으로써 패킷 중복 수신을 최소화한다. 이와 같은 기능을 통해 mRMCP는 이동 환경에서 확장성 있는 멀티캐스트 서비스를 제공한다.

Secure delivery of multicast data can be achieved with the use of a group key for data encryption in mobile ad hoc network (MANET) applications based on the group communication. However, for the support of dynamic group membership, the group key has to be updated for each member joining/leaving and, consequently, a mechanism distributing an updated group key to members is required. The two major categories of the group key distribution mechanisms proposed for wired networks are the naive and the tree-based approaches. The naive approach is based on unicast, so it is not appropriate for large group communication environment. On the other hand, the tree-based approach is scalable in terms of the group size, but requires the reliable multicast mechanism for the group key distribution. In the sense that the reliable multicast mechanism requires a large amount of computing resources from mobile nodes, the tree-based approach is not desirable for the small-sized MANET environment. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new key distribution protocol, called the proxy-based key management protocol (PROMPT), which is based on the naive approach in the small-sized MANET environment. PROMPT reduces the message overhead of the naive through the first-hop grouping from a source node and the last-hop grouping from proxy nodes using the characteristics of a wireless channel.

Currently, The Internet has been imported in many fields and it's development prompted accordingly. The field of education also has been developed as 'Learners Centered Environment' by combining the existing educational method, so called distance learning, with internet. Learners have become able to adopt the appropriate level of educational service anywhere and anytime they want. In this paper, we propose a EOD system based on SIP. The EOD system is a new conferencing type system in the distance learning field. Using SIP (Session Initial Protocol) for EOD system is more efficient than using H.323, also the more the number of its is increased, and as improvement of its QoS. The EOD system is scalable and provides conferencing service using SIP which suits with web environment. And, the EOD system supports multicast efficiently to utilize bandwidth of networks.

The Internet-based multimedia services such as IPTV is being expanded with the development of technology to support the convergence of broadcasting and telecommunications technology for the control seems to be growing larger. Especially for the real-time TV broadcast multicast control technology to support the authentication and resource control, in addition to the technology services that enhance the value of technology for a variety of services in both directions seems to be developed. And, Internet-based transmission system transmit the video content for the video content delivery using RTP(Real Time Transport Protocol). Standardization body, IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force) within the RTP, according to a variety of audio and video formats only transmission format(RTP Payload Format) Establish a separate standard and scalable video content "RTP Payload Format for SVC(Switched Virtual Connection) Video" the standardization is currently processing. In this paper we are improving the quality of broadcasting and telecommunication systems, so that the upper layer by the application can react adaptively to the existing MPEG2-TS and RTP who are provided by a variety of content applied to a variety of devices consumers ETE(End- to-End) QoS(Quality of Service) for enhance the system who was designed and implemented.
