Description
If Internet security is an important part of your job responsibility, this first-of-its-kind book is essential reading. It presents detailed coverage of multicast security from the leading developer of the standards. This unique resource discusses the security issues related to IP multicast networks, protocols and other group communications technologies. New algorithms and protocols for multi-party secure communication are provided for easy reference. The book looks at the security issues and solutions under three broad categories: data authentication, key management, and policies. Technical managers will want to use this book as a guide to the current state of multicast and group security, without necessarily having to know all the detailed algorithms. Computer scientists and R&D personnel will use the book as a survey of the technologies, approaches and algorithms used to provide a secure multicast solution. This handy reference helps you ensure efficient and secure distribution of data (real-time or delayed); security of IP-based conferencing on the Internet and security of networks that use IP multicast technologies; security of video on demand and other IP-TV applications; and security of single-source satellite broadcasts to multiple receivers and multi-party networked computer games.
