Abstract: This article gives you a basic idea on what multicast authentication means. We can provide many methods for authentication like digital signature, batch wise authentication, encryption and decryption using L-A-R algorithms or simply simple encryption and decryption techniques. The primitive packet sending techniques are not attack resistant, we need a good protocol that will perform authentication in real time, so that we can resist packet loss and pollution attacks. Multicasting is one of the techniques for sending confidential data to multiple users in a secure way if encryption is done in a good way. Here we will be discussing about batch signature its drawbacks and L-A-R protocol, also some simple cryptographic techniques.
Keywords: Batch Signature, cryptography, L-A-R protocol, Digital Signature.
