Generalization of Multiple Key Agreement Protocol based on Bilinear Pairings

In practice, we usually require a key agreement protocol to establish a common secret key for enciphering/ deciphering messages. Now, most protocols can establish n 2 common secret keys in a single round of messages exchange. In this paper, we shall propose an extended proto col to establish 2n 2 common secret keys in a single round. The proposed protocol is based on bilinear pairings. Moreover, the correctness, security, and efficiency of our proposed protocol are presented.
