A new type of secure multicast based on source tree
Yan Wang, Zheng Jun-hui · 2012
A new type of secure multicast based on source tree is investigated. In order to enhence multicast safety, source tree is established from multicast users to the Aggregation Router. This new type of secure multicast could not only support current Internet security technologies and mechanisms, but also has other characteristics due to using source tree. When transmitting network data, this method does not use IP addresses but use virtual circuit identifications on the source tree, which is harder to be attacked and so the multicast security is enhanced.
