Abstract  Abstract

The present invention pertains to a group key and relates to a group key management method of a key distribution center comprising the steps of: receiving a key request from a mobile device; generating a private key for the mobile device when leaving time information is included in the key request; generating a public key and a verification key for the mobile device; transmitting at least one key including the generated key to the mobile device; verifying whether or not a counterpart belongs to the same group as a leaving time of the counterpart a public key of the counterpart and a verification key of the counterpart; comparing the versions of group keys when the counterpart belongs to the same group and allowing a device having a group key of a latest version to encrypt the group key of the latest version with a session key and to transmit the encrypted group key to a counterpart device; and allowing the counterpart device which has received the group key to decrypt the group key and to perform an update. The use of a group key enables a communication cost required for data transmission to be reduced and when a group key is updated even mobile devices which have not received the group key from a base station can later receive the group key from the base station or another mobile device which belongs to the same group.
