An Efficient and Secure Group Key Management for IEEE 802.16j Architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Relay Task Group of IEEE 802.16 has developed IEEE 802.16j which supports mobile multi-hop relay (MMR). MMR utilizes relay stations (RS) to extend network capability. Since attacks are easy to mount in wireless interface between RSs and BS, security issues seem to be more important. This paper proposes a group key management scheme that agrees with the Security Zone Key (SZK) specified in IEEE 802.16j. The scheme has two features. First, the re-keying mechanism is efficient lightweight. Second, the scheme is flexible to allow new RSs to join the group.

An Overview of Group Key Management Issues in IEEE 802.16e Networks
The computer industry has defined the IEEE 802.16 family of standards that will enable mobile devices to access a broadband network as an alternative to digital subscriber line technology. As the mobile devices join and leave a network, security measures must be taken to ensure the safety of the network against unauthorized usage by encryption and group key management. IEEE 802.16e uses Multica...
متن کاملToward an energy efficient PKC-based key management system for wireless sensor networks
Due to wireless nature and hostile environment, providing of security is a critical and vital task in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). It is known that key management is an integral part of a secure network. Unfortunately, in most of the previous methods, security is compromised in favor of reducing energy consumption. Consequently, they lack perfect resilience and are not fit for applications ...

متن کاملHybrid QoS Based Routing for IEEE 802.16j Mesh Infrastructure
With the growth of wireless networks, Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) has appeared as an emerging key solution for broadband Internet access with a low-cost deployment. Moreover, providing QoS guarantees for real-time and streaming applications such as VoIP (Voice over IP) and VoD (Video on Demand) is a challenging issue in such environment. In this paper, we propose a hybrid wireless mesh architec...
متن کاملProvably secure and efficient identity-based key agreement protocol for independent PKGs using ECC
Key agreement protocols are essential for secure communications in open and distributed environments. Recently, identity-based key agreement protocols have been increasingly researched because of the simplicity of public key management. The basic idea behind an identity-based cryptosystem is that a public key is the identity (an arbitrary string) of a user, and the corresponding private key is ...
