ABSTRACT:
An efficient multicast key management is achieved by using seals. A security server generates a seal. In one embodiment, the seal contains a key. In another embodiment, the seal contains information for generating a key. An application server requests the seal from the security server and broadcasts the seal to a plurality of recipients. A recipient wishing to encrypt or decrypt a data stream transmits the received seal to the security server to be opened. If the recipient is authorized, the security server transmits a permit to the authorized recipient. In one embodiment, the recipient generates a key from the permit. In another embodiment, the permit is the key. If the recipient is a sender, the recipient encrypts data using the key and broadcasts the same encrypted data stream to all receivers. If the recipient is a receiver, the recipient decrypts an encrypted data stream using the key. In one embodiment, a seal with a corresponding offset value is sent periodically in a data stream. In another embodiment, multiple instances of identical seals are opened only once. In yet another embodiment, a seal is appended to each datagram packet. In a further embodiment, a seal is appended to any data stream.
