Quantum key distribution (QKD) promises secure key agreement by using quantum mechanical systems. We argue that QKD will be an important part of future cryptographic infrastructur...
We improve a secret sharing scheme, which enables users select their personal keys by themselves instead of being distributed by group manager and users can reuse their personal k...
— A self-healing key distribution scheme enables a large group of users (sensor nodes) to establish a session key dynamically over an unreliable, or lossy wireless network. The m...
In this work we describe a method for fully distributed authentication using public key cryptography within the Kerberos ticket framework. By distributing most of the authenticati...
Efficient key distribution is an important problem for secure group communications. The communication and storage complexity of multicast key distribution problem has been studied ...
