Abstract


The communication mechanism of one to many is termed as multicasting. This technology is helpful in situations where group communication is to be performed. In today’s world, security is the main concern where communication is performed through a network. In this context, Blowfish algorithm works fine. It is a symmetric algorithm, means the sender and receivers should use the same key for encrypting the data as well as decrypting. The data to be transmitted is converted into cipher text and this is sent to all the receivers. The cipher text is generated with the help of a key and the same key will be used by all the receivers to decrypt the encrypted text. Class D addresses are used for multicasting.
