Abstract: Existing multicast group management solutions fall short of providing adequate support for secure group integrity maintenance. This is especially true in the multimedia context, where, on top of intra-group integrity, inter-group (i.e. inter-media) considerations have to be taken into account. We demonstrate, along a comprehensive example, the applicability of our integrity framework for multicast groups, which includes integrity conditions imposed on groups describing valid group states and state transitions as well as action and transition policies for maintaining integrity. Related security issues are analyzed and discussed for data and control plane.
