Multicast and Broadcast Service (MBS) is a novel application supported by the currently released IEEE 802.16e. This service can increase the efficiency of WiMAX networks. The key management and distribution is crucial to evolve MBS efficiently and safely. In this paper, we present a group-based key distribution algorithm GKDA to provide a more scalable solution to reduce the key updating overhead, therefore a base station (BS) can support and maintain more MBS users. Theoretical analyses and simulation results have proven the performance and advantage of our algorithm. In addition, GKDA can strengthen the network security. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
