Abstract

Group key transfer protocol distributes a session key to authorized members with a trusted key generation center. Nam et al. claim that they achieve security, efficiency and correctness based on Shamir¡¯s secret sharing, which is the improved version of Harn-Lin¡¯s protocol. Our main contribution is to show the security flaws of Nam-protocol and Harn-Lin¡¯s protocol that malicious authorized group member can compromise other member¡¯s long-term secret. An improved protocol against insider attack and outsider attack is proposed which is secure and efficient.
