Abstract

The pervasive usage of the Internet has made secure group communications a significant issue. Conference key agreement protocols provide secure group communications against some attacks with lower computational cost in the Internet. However, forward secrecy is a challenging issue in the existing protocols, where it is preserved either the long-term key of a participant is compromised. In this study, we propose an improved conference key agreement protocol with forward secrecy. Besides providing forward secrecy, the proposed protocol preserves the same security level with existing ones.

A communication-efficient and fault-tolerant conference-key agreement protocol with forward secrecy

A conference-key establishment protocol allows participants to construct a common session key that is used to encrypt/decrypt transmitted messages among the participants over an open channel. There are two kinds of conference-key establishment protocols:...
An Improved Conference-Key Agreement Protocol with Forward Secrecy

Recently, Tzeng proposed a provably secure and fault-tolerant conference-key agreement protocol. It requires only a constant number of rounds to establish a conference key among all honest participants. This article will show that Tzeng's protocol does ...

Abstract
In conference channels, users communicate with each other using a conference key that is used to encrypt messages. There are two basic approaches in which the key can be established. In the first one, a central server is used (with a chairman role)...
