Abstract
We present a hierarchical key management scheme using cryptographic hash function and Newton's polynomial interpolation for users key and system resources management. A similar technique has been proposed in 2002 by Shen and Chen, but their scheme suffers large computational overhead and security weakness. We show that our scheme is secure and efficient in comparisons to the Shen and Chen's scheme.

Private Key Management in Hierarchical Identity-Based Encryption
SITIS '07: Proceedings of the 2007 Third International IEEE Conference on Signal-Image Technologies and Internet-Based SystemHierarchical Identity-Based Encryption (HIBE) is a generalization of IBE that mirrors an organizational hierarchy, which consists of a root private key generator (PKG), domain PKGs and users. In a traditional HIBE system, users retrieve private keys ...
Time-based key management in attribute-based encryption using piecewise key generation
Key management is essential in using attribute-based encryption (ABE) for dynamic access control in the practical world. Although user or key delegation has been widely discussed for ABE, it cannot solve all the key management problems. In this paper, we ...
An Efficient Key Management Scheme for Pervasive Computing
ISM '05: Proceedings of the Seventh IEEE International Symposium on MultimediaIn this paper we propose a variant of RSA public key scheme, called "Hidden Exponent RSA". Based on this new scheme, we devised an efficient key distribution/ management scheme for secure communication among devices in the context of pervasive computing,...
