KKey Distribution Scheme A key predistribution scheme (KPS) is a method by which A trusted authority TA distributes secret information among a set of users in such a way that every user in a group in some specified family of privileged subsets is able to compute a common key associated with that group. Besides, certain coalitions of users ( forbidden subsets) outside a privileged group must not be able to find out any information on the value of the key associated with that group.

Goals  One of the goals of this scheme is the construction of key predistribution schemes with good information rate for other families of specification structures.  A new general model for the design of key predistribution schemes, which is based mainly on linear algebraic techniques, the linear key predistribution schemes (LKPSs).  This new model, based on linear algebraic techniques, unifies all previous proposals.

Assumption  A subset P ⊂ U is a privileged subset of the specification structure if there exists F ⊂ U such that (P, F) ∈.  The family of the privileged subsets of is denoted by P ( ).  For any P ∈ P ( ), let us consider F P = { F ⊂ U : (P, F) ∈ }. The elements of F P are called the P- forbidden subsets of.

Assumption  For any P ∈ P ( ), the family of P -forbidden subsets F P is monotone decreasing, that is, if F 1 ∈ F P and F 2 ⊂ F 1, then F 2 ∈ F P.  For any F ⊂ U, we consider the family P F of F - privileged subsets of, which consists of all subsets P ⊂ U such that (P, F) ∈.

Assumption  Let be a specification structure on a set of users U such that both F P and P F are monotone decreasing for any (P, F) ∈.  The specification structure = {(P, F) ∈ : (F, P) ∈ } is called the dual specification structure of.

Duality in LKPSs Under certain conditions, any -LKPS provides a LKPS for the dual specification structure and we relate the information rates of the two schemes.
