BALADE
BALADE is a scalable group key management protocol, for ad hoc networks, dedicated to secure multicast communications, that follows a sequential multi-sources model: at any time t, there is only one source which sends the multicast flow to the group members, and once it finishes, another source takes over. We wanted to focus on this model of group communications because it is very widespread in the Internet world, and corresponds to the characteristics of several applications in MANETs, such as audio/video conferences, MP3 broadcasting, podcasting...
