Diffie-Hellman Key Distribution Extended to Groups
ACM CCS'96, March 1996 
This paper introduces the group Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocols GDH.1-3 and proves their security.

CLIQUES: A New Approach to Group Key Agreement 
IEEE ICDCS'97, May 1997 
This paper extendes STW96 to support dynamic membership (auxhiliary key agreement) operations. Protocols for join, leave, partition, and merge are defined and proven secure.

Authenticated Group Key Agreement and Friends 
ACM CCS'98, November 1998
A notion of group key authenitication is considered and a concrete (provably-secure) authenticated group key agreement protocol is proposed.

The Design of a Group Key Agreement API
DARPA DISCEX 2000, Jan. 2000
This paper describes the Cliques GDH application protocol interface (CLQ_API) which implements GDH.2 and GDH.3 using OpenSSL. CLQ_API is independent of the underlying communication system.
