| Περίληψη: | Over the last few years, researchers have introduced many group key agreement protocols, aiming to construct new efficient schemes in terms of both computation and communication. Group key agreement protocols aim to derive a common session key among a group of users, which will be used later in order to achieve secure communication between them. In this thesis, we provide a complete analysis of the protocols that have already been introduced in the literature from 2010 until now and require only one round. The main goal of this analysis is to evaluate these protocols in both communication and computation cost, in order to provide a comprehensive comparative analysis.
The second part of the thesis is to analyze and evaluate the multi key encapsulation mechanisms that exist in the literature. A multi key encapsulation mechanism is the encryption technique by which a symmetric cryptographic algorithm is combined with an asymmetric one. To be more specific, such a mechanism uses an asymmetric cryptographic algorithm, as a method to encrypt the session key, while the key is derived by a symmetric cryptographic algorithm.
Finally, we propose two new group key agreement protocols which use the multi key encapsulation mechanisms, and compare them with existing group key agreement protocols. These constructions are based on a generic methodology for creating a group key exchange protocol by using multi key encapsulation mechanisms. For this reason, emphasis has been given to both one round group key agreement protocols and multi key encapsulation mechanisms, in order to
examine the possibility of combining them |
