“…Harn proposed a Group Authentication Scheme (GAS), where the role of a group manager is responsible for registering all members of the group and issuing a distinct token to each member [10]. Subsequently, the members of the group authenticate and interact with each other without the need for the group manager's involvement.…”

“…This scheme, based on Shamir's secret-sharing [11], works for synchronous communications only. Therefore, they also propose an asynchronous (t; m; n) GAS, which can determine whether all users that participate in a group actually belong to that group [10]. The proposal in [10] is primarily for a many-to-many communication within a group (intra-group).…”

A Neighbourhood Area Network is a functional component of the Smart Grid that interconnects the end user domain with the Energy Services Provider (ESP) domain. It forms the "edge" of the provider network, interconnecting homes instrumented with Smart Meters (SM) with the ESP. The SM is a dual interface, wireless communication device through which information is transacted across the user (a home) and ESP domains. The security risk to the ESP increases since the components within the home, interconnected to the ESP via the SM, are not managed by the ESP. Secure operation of the SM is a necessary requirement. The SM should be resilient to attacks, which might be targeted either directly or via the network in the home. This paper presents and discusses a security scheme for groups of SMs in a Neighbourhood Area Network that enable entire groups to authenticate themselves, rather than one at a time. The results show that a significant improvement in terms of resilience against node capture attacks, replay attacks, confidentiality, authentication for groups of SMs in a NAN that enable entire groups to authenticate themselves, rather than one at a time.

SUMMARY A group key distribution protocol can enable members of a group to share a secret group key and use it for secret communications. In 2010, Harn and Lin proposed an authenticated group key distribution protocol using polynomial‐based secret sharing scheme. Recently, Guo and Chang proposed a similar protocol based on the generalized Chinese remainder theorem. In this paper, we point out that there are some security problems of Guo and Chang's protocol and propose a simpler authenticated group key distribution protocol based on the Chinese remainder theorem. The confidentiality of our proposed protocol is unconditionally secure. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The virtual enterprise (VE) is a new collaborative intelligent manufacturing paradigm that pools the core competencies of its member enterprises through computer networks to exploit transient market opportunities. The successful operation of such an organization is strongly dependent on its information securities, in which cross‐domain authentication among entities of different member enterprises is a crucial issue. This problem is particularly difficult in VEs because of their collaborative nature in terms of agility, market dynamics, low cost, and diversity of collaboration modes. In this paper, we put forward a novel virtual bridge certificate authority (BCA) trust model, based on which an efficient cross‐domain authentication scheme is further presented. The proposed scheme is implemented by the distributed verifiable secret sharing protocol and the threshold elliptic curve cryptosystem signature algorithm. It has the same advantages of simple construction and short length of inter‐enterprise certification paths as the BCA model but does not need to create and maintain a dedicated physical BCA. In addition, the proposed scheme has the merits of high bit security, high efficiency, low cost, conspiracy attack resistance, and adaptability to diverse collaboration modes of VE. Therefore, the scheme is suitable for cross‐domain authentications in VEs, especially for resource‐limited applications. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
