Abstract

Key Management techniques are exercised to distribute and update keys such that illegitimate parties cannot ingress group communications. Key management, however can exhibit information about the stream of group association, such as group size and the number of joining and leaving users. This is a threat to applications with confidential group membership information. This project proposes a new key management paradigm which a combination of traditional broadcast encryption and group key agreement which never reveals the group dynamic information to outsiders and achieves both forward secrecy and backward secrecy. It provides a secure key management model not only with public and private key but also two more keys called group key and session key. It is distributed to multiple user overtime. It also overcomes the limitation of quantum point to point key sharing. It offers reliability and convenience of use, as well as to introduce a secure and efficient key management technique for any quantum cryptography network in real time.
