Method for updating shared key

Abstract

This invention discloses a method for renewing the shared key. The multicast/ broadcast server at the mature point of the shared key switching period sends down the order of switching shared key to the users in the group, and switches the shared key with the users in the group at the same time, the users in the group store the serial number for next sharing carried by the order of switching the shared key; the users in the group judge the accordance between the serial number of renewing shared key stored by users themselves and the serial numbers of the next shared key at the mature point of each user's renewing shared key applying period; if yes, the user waits for next mature point of self renewing shared key applying period; if not, the user sends a request to multicast / broadcast server for renewing the shared key, then stores the renewed shared key sent by multicast/broadcast server and the serials number corresponding to the renewed shared key. It avoids the blocking of wireless communication network caused by renewing the shared key by users at the same time.

  1. 1
    Method for manufacturing 1.1 for sharing system keys, updating is characterised method of comprising the steps of:, A playing/playing server at each sharing system key switch cycle due part, the user to group for distributing system for sharing key handover order, wherein the sharing system key handover order and second switching system for sharing a series of counting,/playing to broadcasting server and stored in updating system for sharing same group the user of switching novel sharing system key;The B) and user saving playing/playing for sharing system key handover command for distributing server filled in the switching system for sharing a series of counting next time;The C and group the user in each for updating system for sharing key application cycle's due part, a judging with a serial number of for updating system for sharing key of memory and a current with a memory of the sharing system a series of counting next time consistently;each, wherein user standby lower for sharing updating system using a cycle due part;Otherwise, operating order D;D;the user to play/playing transmission server updating system for sharing key request to back radio/playing server arranged on the updating system for sharing key, request to the user transmission updating system for sharing key and a serial number of the updating system for sharing key are, wherein the user memory updating system for sharing key and a serial number of the updating system for sharing key are. 1.一种共享密钥更新的方法,其特征在于该方法包含以下步骤:A、多播/广播服务器在每个共享密钥切换周期的到期点,向群组内用户下发共享密钥切换命令,该共享密钥切换命令中携带有下次切换共享密钥序列号计数,多播/广播服务器和存储有更新共享密钥的群组内用户同时切换到新的共享密钥;B、群组内用户存储多播/广播服务器下发的共享密钥切换命令中携带下次切换共享密钥序列号计数;C、群组内用户在每个自身更新共享密钥申请周期的到期点,判断与自身存储的更新共享密钥相对应的序列号是否与当前存储的下次切换共享密钥序列号计数相一致,如果是,所述用户等待下一个自身更新共享密钥申请周期的到期点;否则,执行步骤D;D、所述用户向多播/广播服务器发送更新共享密钥请求,多播/广播服务器收到更新共享密钥请求后,向所述用户发送更新共享密钥及与该更新共享密钥相对应的序列号,所述用户存储更新共享密钥及与该更新共享密钥相对应的序列号。
