Implementation of Authenticated Group Key Management Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

The group key management technique is an important technique for cryptographic applications. In this paper, we implemented our proposed method [1] on a group key management protocol for group communication. The proposed protocol is authenticated group key distribution protocol is a mechanism for distributing a group key. We also discussed security analysis and attacks in active and passive adversary model. Also, it ensures semantic security as well as Key freshness of the group key. Along with this, they provide implicit and mutual authentication of the group key. Furthermore, the protocols provide key independence, provide Perfect Forward Secrecy and are resistant to Known Key Attack Implementation of proposed protocol in NS2 simulator.
