Abstract

In this paper, an efficient construction of multicast key distribution schemes based on semantically secure symmetric-key encryption schemes and cryptographically strong pseudo-random number generators is presented and analyzed. The proposed scheme is provably secure against adaptive adversaries leveraging the security amplification technique defined over the logical key hierarchy structures. Our protocol tolerates any coalition of revoked users; in particular, we do not assume any limit on the size or structure of the coalition. The proposed scheme is efficient as a performance of Join or Leave procedure requires 2 log(N) multicast activities defined over a sibling ancestor node set, 2 log(N) internal state updates of the underlying pseudo-random number generator and 2 log(N) symmetric-key encryption activities for N users in a session.

摘要

创新点

本文提出一种基于语义安全对称密钥加密算法和密码安全伪随机数发生器的快速组播密钥分发协议。 利用定义在逻辑密钥树结构的安全性放大技术, 我们证明了提出的方案能抵抗自适应攻击。 该组播密钥分发协议能抵抗撤销用户合作攻击; 同时在密钥更新时, 仅需更新逻辑密钥树每个节点中内置伪随机函数的状态。 因此该算法的计算复杂度为计算复杂度为 O(log(N)), 这里N是集群的用户数。
