IP multicast is best-known for its bandwidth conservation and lower resource utilization. Without an effective participant (i.e., receivers and sender(s)) access control, an adversary may exploit the existing multicast model. The AAA protocols can be used for multicast applications to control access to valuable information. In this book, a novel architecture is presented to manage IP multicast group access control. The Internet Group Management Protocol with Access Control (IGMP-AC) has been developed for receiver access control. The IGMP-AC, which encapsulates EAP packets, is verified using...
