Abstract

Assume that there are players and an eavesdropper Eve of unlimited computational power and that several pairs of players have shared secret keys beforehand. In a key sharing graph, each vertex corresponds to a player, and each edge corresponds to a secret key shared by the two players corresponding to the ends of the edge. Given a key sharing graph, a player wishes to send a message to another player so that the eavesdropper Eve and any other player can get no information on the message. In this paper, we first give a necessary and sufficient condition on a key sharing graph for the existence of such a unicast protocol. We then extend the condition to the case where a multiple number of players other than the sender and receiver passively collude. We finally give a sufficient condition for the existence of a secure multicast protocol.
