Secured transmission in cooperative groups using Group Key Management Protocol

Abstract

The biggest issue in dealing with the remote cooperative group is efficient and secured broadcast. There is unavailability of a fully trusted key generator center. The Secure key distribution implementation GKMP (Group Key Management Protocol) is an efficient solution to all these issues. It creates keys for groups, distributes to the key members, ensures rule based access and allows hierarchical control of group actions. This paper gives an overview of different approaches for secured transmission in cooperative groups. This paper also presents the group key management protocol for secure transmission in cooperative groups.
