A method of managing keys for broadcast encryption comprises identifying a plurality of devices as corresponding to a plurality of leaf nodes in a tree structure comprising a plurality of nodes having a root node, a plurality of middle nodes, and the leaf nodes, the plurality of middle nodes comprising first middle nodes and second middle nodes, determining node key sets for the second middle nodes and for the leaf nodes and omitting a determination of node key sets for first middle nodes of the middle nodes, and determining device keys for the plurality of devices based on the node key sets for the second middle nodes and the node key sets for the leaf nodes. |
