Title: Revisiting pairing based group key exchange Abstract: We propose new constant round pairing based group authenticated key exchange (AKE) protocols, which require lower computational complexity per user compared to previous proposals. Furthermore, one of our schemes is particularly interesting for groups in which some members enjoy more computational power than others. The protocol is most efficient if these members constitute roughly half of the group. If the parameters are chosen appropriately so that the pairing computations are fast the protocols can outperform traditional Burmester-Desmedt key exchange protocols.
