This paper describes the support provided for mobility and fault tolerance in Mykil, which is a key distribution protocol for large, secure group multicast. Mykil is based on acombination of group-based hierarchy and key-based hierarchysystems. Important advantages of Mykil include a fast andefficient rekeying operation for large group sizes, continuousavailability of the key management service in a disconnectednetwork environment, an ability to map group structure to theunderlying network infrastructure, fault tolerance, and supportfor member mobility and smaller hand-held devices.
