Abstract

Popularity of group-based application and related protocols leads to exponential growth of group communication. One form of group communication is Cooperative group. Cooperative group consist of multiple nodes/hosts connected together in resource sharing environment. Types of Cooperative groups are Wireless Mesh Network and Mobile ad hoc Network. The specified communication is totally unsecure. Secured transmission is one of the complex issues when dealing with the groups. A proper management of keys is needed in the form of generation, exchange, storage and replacement of keys i.e. a key management is needed for the management of cryptographic keys in a cryptosystem. Group Key Management Protocol (GKMP) provides an effective key management solution which deals with generation of keys and distributes them among different communication peers. This paper addresses the use of GKMP protocol for providing security of data transmission in cooperative group. The process of creating group, distributing keys to each member, controlling transmission, implementing security, and deleting group members is described in this paper. The comparison recent approaches are presented in this paper. This paper also describes the proposed methodology for group management. The performance evaluation of the proposed methodology is presented on the basis throughput, time required for key generation and time required for key distribution.
