Abstract
Assume that it should be possible to protect messages transmitted in a N-user network by encryption. The encryption can either be performed by a public-key crypto system or by a conventional cipher. In the first case there is no need for key distribution. In the second case we have two choices, either to distribute keys from a key distribution center or use a public key distribution algorithm.
