Abstract

We introduce a hierarchical approach for secure multicast where rekeying of groups of users is made through a method based on Euclid’s algorithm for computing GCD. We consider tree arrangements of users that decrease requirements on bandwidth as protocols of the same nature, but also show that computational requirements are less than in other similar approaches. We also introduce a distributed protocol by groups with group managers that not only helps to decrease size of rekeying messages with respect to a centralized approach, but also to increase the security level concerning authentication of users and distributed information.
