        abstract = {A typical collaborative application operates as a peer group where members communicate via reliable many-to-many multicasting, sometimes these requiring reliable ordered can be message delivery. Many collaborative settings such as audio conferencing and video conferencing, white-boards, clustering, and their replication applications, requirement services which are not provideding by the current network infrastructure.. In some settings, group members must be aware of the exact (agreed upon) group membership. Since group communication systems provide these services, many collaborative applications use group communication systems (GCS) as the underlying messaging infrastructure. Advanced encryption strategy protocols generate group keys based on contributions of all group members. Particularly appropriate for relatively small collaborative peer groups, these protocols are resilient to many types of attacks. Unlike most group key distribution protocols, advanced encryption strategy offer strong security properties such as key independence and perfect forward secrecy. We prove that it provides both Virtual Synchrony and the security properties of Group Diffie-Hellman, in the presence of any sequence of (potentially cascading) node failures, recoveries, network partitions, and heals. We implemented a secure group communication service, Secure Spread, based on our AES key agreement protocol and Spread group communication system. },
