Definition
Broadcast authentication is a generalization of the message authentication notion that allows more than one receiver.
Background
The first broadcast authentication codes were proposed by Desmedt, Frankel, and Yung [1]. Safavi-Naini and Wang have considered more general broadcast authentication models and proposed new schemes.
Theory
The broadcast message authentication setting is an extension of the conventional message authentication systems. The conventional message authentication setting is a point-to-point setting with three participants: a transmitter(sender), a receiver, and an adversary. Both, the sender and the receiver are honest. Prior to engaging in a communication, the transmitter generates a secret key and sends it to the receiver over a secure channel. Next,...
