Abstract
The one-way function tree is an efficient group key management scheme. Many methods have been proposed to improve it against different types of internal attack. However, these previous works have not considered external attacks such as man in the middle. This is a very dangerous attack because it can intervene in the key establishment and key agreement process. This paper proposes a new method to prevent man in the middle attack by combining the OFT scheme with digital signatures scheme which is used to authenticate the participants. Beside, the proposed method can also prevent the collusion attack.
