Abstract: The security of any cryptographic algorithm is based on the key size and secure key transmission. The key size depends on algorithm and firmware. The secure key transmission is very important. The aim of this study to illustrate the key distribution analysis in two scenarios. In the first scenario, to analyze how to distribute the key between sender and receiver with the presence of online Certificate Authority (CA) and also discuss some security features used in Virtual Private Network using CA. In the second scenario, to consider a fully self-organized key management for key distribution without any centralized server. Then show the comparative study in key distribution between Certificate Authority and self-organized key management.
