Multi Group Key Agreement Mechanism for Mobile P2P Wireless Networks

Secure and efficient communication among a set of mobile nodes is one of the most important aspect in P2P wireless networks. Security of various group-oriented applications requires a group secret shared between all participants. Several group key protocols have been presented in the literature to enable secrecy of communication among dynamic group of participants. However, most of them suffer from the scalability problem. In this paper, the authors propose a novel multi group key agreement mechanism for P2P wireless network. The proposed model is organized as several neighboring rings.
