In any multi–device / party systems supporting GRID and cloud-based applications, an essential constraint of these systems is the need of all tools and participants to interconnect with each other as members of a group in a secure approach. Group key management method is an essential functional element for any protected distributed communication setting. Key distribution method is a crucial factor in securing communication in grid computing. After the secure key management is executed, messages will be able to be securely exchanged between the grid units. A number of protocols have been proposed to maintain secure group key management. In this paper we present a new password base protocol for secure group key management in Grid computing environment, which is organized in two dynamic servicing layers: the grid application that needs grid services, and the grid services that act on behalf of the user.

The wireless body area network (WBAN) is considered as one of the emerging wireless techniques in the healthcare system. Typical WBAN sensors, especially implantable sensors, have limited power capability, which restricts their wide applications in the medical environment. In addition, it is necessary for the healthcare center (HC) to broadcast significant notifications to different patient groups. Considering the above issues, in this paper, the novel practical WBAN system model with group message broadcasting is built. Subsequently, a secure and efficient group key management protocol with cooperative sensor association is proposed. In the proposed protocol, the Chinese remainder theorem (CRT) is employed for group key management between HC and the personal controller (PC), which also supports batch key updating. The proposed sensor association scheme is motivated by coded cooperative data exchange (CCDE). The formal security proofs are presented, indicating that the proposed protocol can achieve the desired security properties. Moreover, performance analysis demonstrates that the proposed protocol is efficient compared with state-of-the-art group key management protocols.
