Group Key Management Protocols for Non-Network: A Survey

The phenomenal rise of the Internet in recent years, as well as the expansion of capacity in today's networks, have provided both inspiration and incentive for the development of new services that combine phone, video, and text "over IP." Although unicast communications have been prevalent in the past, there is an increasing demand for multicast communications from both Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and content or media providers and distributors. Indeed, multicasting is increasingly being used as a green verbal exchange mechanism for institution-oriented programmers on the Internet, such as video conferencing, interactive college games, video on demand (VoD), TV over the Internet, e-learning, software programme updates, database replication, and broadcasting inventory charges. However, the lack of security within the multicast verbal exchange model prevents the effective and large-scale adoption of such important company multi-celebration activities. This situation prompted a slew of research projects that addressed a variety of issues related to multicast security, including confidentiality, authentication, watermarking, and access control. These issues should be viewed within the context of the safety regulations that work in the specific conditions. For example, in a public inventory charge broadcast, while identification is a vital necessity, secrecy is not. In contrast, video-convention programme requires both identification and confidentiality. This study gives a complete examination and comparison of the issues of group key management. Both network-dependent and network-independent approaches are used. The study also addresses the advantages, disadvantages, and security problems of various protocols.
