    Encryption is used in a communication system to secure information in the transmitted messages from anyone other than the well-intended receiver. To perform the encryption and decryption the transmitter and receiver should have matching encryption and decryption keys. For sending safeguard information to group needed broadcast encryption (BE). BE allows a sender to securely broadcast to any subset of members and require a trusted party to distribute decryption keys. Group key agreement (GKA) protocol allows a number of users to establish a common secret channel via open networks. Observing that a major goal of GKA for most applications is to create a confidential channel among group members, but a sender cannot omit any particular member from decrypting the cipher texts. By bridging BE and GKA notion with a hybrid primitive referred to as contributory broadcast encryption (CBE). With these primitives, a group of members move through a common public encryption key while each member having there decryption key. A sender seeing the public group encryption key can limit the decryption to subset of members of sender’s choice. A simple way to generate these keys is to use the public key distribution system invented by Diffie and Hellman. That system, however, pass only one pair of communication stations to share a particular pair of encryption and decryption keys. Key distribution sets are used to generate keys and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is used for the encryption and decryption of documents; and this going to provide the security for the documents over group communication

    We present efficient protocols for amortized secure multiparty computation with penalties and secure cash distribution, of which poker is a prime example. Our protocols have an initial phase where the parties interact with a cryptocurrency network, that then enables them to interact only among themselves over the course of playing many poker games in which money changes hands. The high efficiency of our protocols is achieved by harnessing the power of stateful contracts. Compared to the limited expressive power of Bitcoin scripts, stateful contracts enable richer forms of interaction between standard secure computation and a cryptocurrency. We formalize the stateful contract model and the security notions that our protocols accomplish, and provide proofs using the simulation paradigm. Moreover, we provide a reference implementation in Ethereum/Solidity for the stateful contracts that our protocols are based on. We also adopt our off-chain cash distribution protocols to the special case of stateful duplex micropayment channels, which are of independent interest. In comparison to Bitcoin based payment channels, our duplex channel implementation is more efficient and has additional features
