| Summary: | The need for communications networks is quite evident in the world today, multicasting has becomes a
major way of transferring digital data to huge number of audience. The advantages of multicast in
multi-party communications, such as saving bandwidth, simplicity and efficiency, are very essential
for new services that combine voice, video and text over Internet. It has many applications in online
multimedia and sensor networks and so on. The multicast networks distribute sensitive or private
information, therefore they must be provided via secure communication channels. In this paper, the
security of multicast network has been reviewed. A method has been presented to improve the security
of multicast network (SMN) using quantum key distribution (QKD) network. This technique protected
multicast network against internal and external impersonation. The QKD has been added to multicast
network architecture to generate the secure keys. The keys are in the authentication and encryption
processes. The proposed scheme aimed to provide a secure end to end communication for multicast
network. |
