ABSTRACT:
Within a communication system, updating encryption key information in communication units of a particular communication group begins when a key management terminal transmits a key update message for the particular communication group to a communication resource allocator. Upon receipt of the key update message, the communication resource allocator determines a rekey session number from the key update message and allocates a communication resource for the particular communication group. Each active communication unit of the particular communication group receives the rekey session number and compares it to a stored rekey session number. If the numbers do not substantially match, the communication unit affiliates with the allocated communication resource to receive updated encryption key information from the key management terminal.
