### Paper: Flaws in Some Efficient Self-Healing Key Distribution Schemes with Revocation

Authors: Vanesa Daza Javier Herranz German Saez URL: http://eprint.iacr.org/2008/351 Search ePrint Search Google Dutta and Mukhopadhyay have recently proposed some very efficient self-healing key distribution schemes with revocation. The parameters of these schemes contradict some results (lower bounds) presented by Blundo et al. In this paper different attacks against the schemes of Dutta and Mukhopadhyay are explained: one of them can be easily avoided with a slight modification in the schemes, but the other one is really serious. The conclusion is that the results of Dutta and Mukhopadhyay are wrong.
