A Hybrid Group Key Management Architecture for Heterogeneous MANET

Group key management scheme for mobile ad-hoc network is a research hotspot. A group key management architecture for a heterogeneous MANET model with UAV-aid and its detailed re-key methods are offered in this paper. At last, the performance analysis result of the architecture is also offered. The overload values of key storage and re-key computing show our scheme suits for heterogeneous mobile ad-hoc network environment.
