AuthoCast
Authenticated Multicast
Mobile multicast scenarios like IPTV or group conferencing are likely
to soon extend into the mobile world: A sportscaster (without support
of tradional,
expensive broadcasting equipment) may feed its live stream from a
sailing regatta to an Internet TV channel. But how to prevent an
attacker from hijacking this open Internet channel?
AuthoCast defines a protocol scheme that allows for authentication of mobile Multicast senders in native IP and overlay networks.
