This work exposes security flaws in a specific cryptographic scheme, which is incremental as it critiques an existing method.
The paper demonstrates that the UMKESS group key distribution scheme, based on secret sharing, is insecure and unreliable, failing to function correctly and having unsound design principles.
A recently proposed group key distribution scheme known as UMKESS, based on secret sharing, is shown to be insecure. Not only is it insecure, but it does not always work, and the rationale for its design is unsound. UMKESS is the latest in a long line of flawed group key distribution schemes based on secret sharing techniques.
