ABSTRACT:
A user key management method for a broadcast encryption includes assigning node path identifiers (IDs) to nodes arranged in sequence; assigning random seed value keys to the nodes according to the node path IDs; generating key values by repeatedly applying a hash function to the assigned random seed value keys; and assigning the generated key values to the nodes in sequence. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the transmission overhead that is most important matter in the broadcast encryption to less than the number of the revoked users. Further, there is an advantage that the transmission overhead of the exemplary embodiments of the present invention is remarkably reduced compared with the Subset Difference method.
