A survey of research on key management for multicast. Journal of Software, 2004,15(1):141~150. /1000-9825/15/141.htm Abstract: The absence of security mechanism has limited the use of multicast. Key management for multicast is used for group members in one multicast session to generate, refresh and transfer keys which are used for encryption and authentication. In addition to the maintenance of keys, issues about scalability, reliability and robustness should be carefully considered. In this paper, the existing problems in key management for multicast are analyzed, and some typical schemes are reviewed. Key words: IP multicast; key management; logical key tree 摘 要: 缺乏安全机制限制了组播在各种网络业务中的应用.组播密钥管理通过为组播成员生成、发送和更新 组密钥来满足加密认证等安全需求.组播密钥管理方案的设计,除了要满足基本的安全需求,还要兼顾可扩展 性、健壮性、可靠性等多方面因素.分析了组播密钥管理所面临的问题,并通过对已有的几种组播密钥树方案的 介绍,探讨和总结了组播密钥管理的研究现状和发展趋势. 关键词: 组播;密钥管理;逻辑密钥树 中图法分类号: TP309 文献标识码: A 组播(multicast)在虚拟会议、网络辅助协同工作、多媒体实时点播、网络游戏等方面有着很广阔的应用前 景.这些组播应用对组播的安全性能提出了要求.在虚拟会议中,通常需要确保会议内容的保密性,并且在必要 时能够对发言人的身份进行认证;在多媒体实时点播中,要确保只有付费用户才能看到节目内容.但是目前的组 ∗ Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant Nos( 国家自然科学 基金); the High-Tech Research and Development Plan of China under Grant No.2001AA 112132 ( 国家高技术研究发展计划(8
