A self-healing key distribution scheme enables a group of
users to establish a group key over an unreliable channel. In
such a protocol, a group manager, to distribute a session key
to each member of the group, broadcasts packets along the
channel. If some packet gets lost, then users are still capable
of recovering the group key using the received packets,
without requesting additional transmission from the group
manager. A user must be member both before and after the
session in which a particular key is sent and lost, in order
to be recovered through "self-healing". In this paper we
propose a new technique to do self-healing, and we provide
a secure and efficient scheme.
