An efficient group key agreement protocol with administrator
Qihao Fang, Lei Zhang, Mingrui Zhang · 2023
Group key agreement technology is one of the most popular solution to establish a reliable secure channel between communicating entities of a group. Group key agreement protocol with administrator (GKAA) can handle a large number of group operations in sequence to resolve disorder problem and it is widely used in practical applications. However, in most of existing protocol, the administrator has to compute materials for each participant in the group which brings huge calculate overhead. In this paper, we propose an efficient group key agreement protocol with Administrator. Our GKAA protocol is able to perform group operation in a high efficacy way with the help of a key tree. It is also flexible and scalable since it suits for any network communication environment like IoT, video meeting, social applications, etc. Our protocol satisfies the properties including forward secrecy, PCS and key control resistance.
