Abstract
Group communication is inherently a social activity. However, existing protocols for group key establishment often fail to consider important social dynamics. This paper examines the human requirements for wireless group key establishment. We identify seven social and situational factors which impact group formation, and we categorize common types of group communications into four classes of scenarios. Because of the different contextual factors, the different scenarios impose different requirements on wireless group key establishment. Existing group key establishment protocols do not handle two major (but unsolved) requirements: supporting polite behavior and resisting malicious insiders. We introduce how polite behavior may be incorporated into secure group communication.
