Computation and communication efficient secure group key exchange protocol for low configuration system

Abstract

The group key exchange protocol is a cryptographic mechanism is designed to provide a common session key for a group, there are some common challenges to this type of algorithm as computation and communication cost. Whenever the involvement of high computation and communication operations to the algorithms encounter, then the system with low configuration always faces problem in major time delay. The proposed approach is designed specifically to provide computation and communication efficient algorithms for low configuration systems without violating the security. For making our approach computationally efficient, we replaced modular exponential operation by modular multiplication operation, helpful for low configuration system making task early. For making our approach communication efficient, we used the divide and conquer mechanism to reduced the message transmission cost. The major task is to generate a common session key for the group in less computation time for a low configuration system without violating the security. The RSA algorithm assuring security with constant computation cost while the modular multiplication operation, assuring the less computation cost for low configuration system. The major limitation of the study as the approach is more efficient and applicable for low configuration system only, if comparing the existing approaches with the low configuration system.
