Abstract

This paper presents an approach for providing security services for multicasting using PIM-SM and BGMP routing algorithms. Members and senders are authenticated and receive/use proper capabilities when they join a multicast group so that illegal hosts or routers may not be able to expand the multicast delivery tree. Messages are encrypted with either a group data key or sender specific key that is shared by all members and changed efficiently whenever a membership changes. So not only illegal hosts cannot read packets but also members cannot read packets exchanged before they join the group or after they leave the group. The authenticity of a packet is checked by the edge router of the sending host and then by the core routers to efficiently thwart an illegal host or corrupt router's attempt to inject a bogus packet or replay a packet....
