GROUP KEY APPLICATIONS IN BLUETOOTH PICONET

Bluetooth is a wireless technology, where Bluetooth devices are connected in ad-hoc fashion to form a piconet. Through the analysis of the piconet group key generation based on authenticated Deffie-Hellman group key generation protocol [1], each device in the Bluetooth piconet requires large memory space to store the keys. Although the protocol serves good security features, the number of messages exchange and total number of round is more so it requires high computing capability of each unit. The protocol has high overhead to compute the group key when a new member joins or leave into or from the group, it leads computational and communicational cost. In the present work Dynamic GKE(Group Key Exchange) protocol is more suitable to generate group key for Bluetooth piconet than GDH.2 and ECGDH protocols. Deffie-Hellman based Dynamic GKE (Group Key Exchange) protocol [47] has comparatively low round as well as communication cost for group key generation then existing one. The Dynamic GKE protocol is non-authenticated one, so before applying this we assume each mobile client (slave) and the powerful node(master) is already been authenticated manually or some other Deffie-Hellman based method have been used to authenticate the devices. The Dynamic GKE protocol is applicable for piconet group key generation. Dynamic GKE protocol is more efficient in the case of member join/leave
