Abstract Details

2006, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Computer Engineering.
A majority of group communication applications in cellular-based heterogeneous wireless setups entail secure data exchange. The problem can be effectively tackled if the underlying cellular infrastructure is used to provide an authentication backbone to the security associations. We propose a novel distributed ID based key exchange mechanism using shared polynomials in which the shares are generated by the communicating groups. Our idea employs a mechanism where the Base Stations (BSs) carry out an initial key generation by a polynomial in a distributed manner and then pass on the key material to the Mobile Stations (MSs). The multi-interface MSs can now securely communicate over interfaces other than cellular. The scheme incorporates symmetric polynomials, which are chosen by the BS acting as polynomial distributors. Simulations done to measure performance have shown encouraging results.
