As users and companies begin to rely heavily on the Internet for day-to-day operations, issues such as security and privacy become ever more important in the areas of computer communications andnetworking. Secure group communications (SGC) refers to a setting in which a group of participants can send and receive messages in a way that outsiders are unable to glean any information even when they areable to intercept the messages. Group key management (GKM) is the most important issue in SGC. This project will focus on SGC GKM in wired networks as well as in wireless environments. In particular, new, scalable, fault-tolerant, block-free, and burst-efficient GKM protocols will be designed and tested. Theoretical analysis of complexities (time, space, and communication) and experimental simulations for GKM protocols will be performed. Prototype SGC systems and SGC Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) which can be used by industry and SGC application developers will be implemented. The multi-disciplinary research conducted in this project will have a broad impact on graduate and undergraduate education in the areas of information security, cryptography, computational complexity theory, computer networking andtelecommunications. The research results from this project will be integrated into regular Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and Information Technology (IT) curricula and findings and softwareresulting from this project will be disseminated.

随着用户和公司开始严重依赖互联网进行日常操作，安全和隐私等问题在计算机通信和网络领域变得越来越重要。安全组通信（SGC）指的是一种设置，在这种设置中，一组参与者可以以一种外部人员即使能够拦截消息也无法收集任何信息的方式发送和接收消息。组密钥管理（GKM）是SGC中最重要的问题。该项目将重点研究有线网络和无线环境下的SGC GKM。特别是，将设计和测试新的、可扩展的、容错的、无块的和突发高效的GKM协议。将对GKM协议的复杂性（时间、空间和通信）进行理论分析和实验模拟。原型SGC系统和SGC应用程序编程接口（api）可以被工业和SGC应用程序开发人员使用。该项目的多学科研究将对信息安全、密码学、计算复杂性理论、计算机网络和电信等领域的研究生和本科生教育产生广泛影响。该项目的研究成果将纳入计算机科学与工程（CSE）和信息技术（IT）的常规课程，并将传播该项目的研究成果和软件。
