Abstract

This paper proposes identity-based key distribution systems for generating a common secret conference key for two or more users. Users are connected in a ring, a complete graph, or a star network. Messages among users are authenticated using each user's identification information. The security of the proposed systems is based on the difficulty of both factoring large numbers and computing discrete logarithms over large finite fields.
