2. What is Multicast? The most basic transmission method would be to send a single copy of data from the source (server) to each individual destination (client), which is known as unicast. This results in sending the same message multiple times to each of the individual destinations. To reduce congestion, multicast sends a single copy of data to each router its connected to and lets the routers decide whether it should make another copy of the information to send to the destination.

3. Multicast vs. Unicast Single virtual connection with a group address Uses only a little more bandwidth for a thousand clients than it does for a single client Access control difficult to implement because secret key is shared by all group members Point-to-Point Connection Consumes a lot of resources as number of clients increase (Congestion problems) Access control easy to implement because secret key can be established privately Server Client Group Address

4. What are the advantages of Multicast? (1) Decreased Network Utilization—Reduces the number of messages required by eliminating redundant packets and decreasing the number of point-to-point connections that must be established. Dynamic Participation—Multicasting provides flexibility in joining and leaving a group. This membership flexibility supports the transient behavior of peers.

5. What are the advantages of Multicast? (2) Multimedia support—Multimedia transmission continues to increase in popularity while at the same time it consumes a significant amount of bandwidth. This is one area where network optimization is of paramount importance. Multimedia data such as images, video, and audio generally require a large amount of memory and would require more time to transmit. Therefore it is highly profitable to reduce the number of redundant messages being sent in order to improve the efficiency of the system.

6. What is Secure Multicast? Many multicast applications require access control mechanisms to establish security in the system. Access control can be achieved by encryption. Since users may join and leave at any time, it is necessary to update the encryption keys. By establishing a key management structure, dynamic membership can be handled.

7. Key Management If a user leaves or stops paying for service, the encryption key must change so they can no longer decrypt data. Also, if a new user joins, the encryption key must change so they will not be able to decrypt any data collected before they started paying for the service.

8. Non-Tree Based Structure Tree based Structure If Client Joins: # of Messages = 2 If Client Leaves: # of Messages = N If Client Joins: # of Messages = L+1 If Client Leaves: # of Messages = D*L = 2*log 2 N (if tree binary) Session Key Key Encrypt Key Client Keys N = Number of Clients L = Level of Tree D = Degree of Tree K1K1 K0K0 Session Key Key Encrypt Key Client Keys

9. Goals Transmit and Display Multimedia Images Video Visualize the Key Management Process

10. Our Approach… 1. Meet with Professor and understand the Secure Multicast research and system provided. 2. Study the code to understand the system. 3. Build code in C to transfer and display a JPEG file. 4. Build code to transfer and display a sequence of JPEG files. 5. Build code to transmit the GOPs in a MPEG. 6. Build code to receive and play the MPEG data. 7. Build a graphical interface to visualize the key management process. 8. Create a User’s Manual.
