Secure Network Coding Schemes: Comparsions and Broader Perspective

Abstract

In this paper we compare various schemes of Secure Network Coding proposed so far. With the goal to find an efficient approach toward secure Network Coding, we classify and analyze different schemes used to secure Network Coding enabled networks in terms of confidentiality, authentication and level of the security strength they provide. Based upon comparative study of different schemes we come across the conclusion that a generalized model for secure network coding may work in broader perspective.
