Abstract
A computer-implemented method of creating a group key for a group of N parties using an intermediary, the method includes sharing a cryptographic key of a party with an adjacent party in an ordered ring, wherein each party has another cryptographic key of an adjacent party; generating a meeting key for the party based on combining the cryptographic key of the party with a shared cryptographic key from an adjacent party; sending the meeting key to the intermediary and receiving an intermediate key from the intermediary, wherein the intermediary computes the intermediate key by combining at least two meeting keys of corresponding parties; creating the group key by combining the cryptographic key of the party with the received intermediate key, wherein the created group key includes a combination of at least N−1 of the cryptographic keys of the parties; and using the group key with another party of the group.
