On the performance of group key agreement protocols
Tóm tắt
Group key agreement (GKA) is a fundamental building block for securing peer group communication systems (GCS). Several group key agreement protocols were proposed in the past, all assuming an underlying group communication infrastructure. This paper presents a performance evaluation of 5 notable GKA protocols integrated with a reliable group communication system (Spread). They are: centralized group key distribution (CKD), Burmester-Desmedt (BD), Steer et al. (STR), group Diffie-Hellman GDH) and tree-based group Diffie-Hellman (TGDH).. We present concrete results obtained in experiments on local- and wide-area networks. Our analysis of these results offers insights into their relative scalability and practicality.
