Contract Type FiledJanuary 30th, 2008We first derive the expected number of renewed nodes. Consider a node v at level l. In a completely balanced tree, node v has N=2l descendants. At a rekeying instance, node v can be in one of the three distinct states: no-change, pruned, and renewed. Node v can be in the “no-change” state if none of its N=2l descendants wish to leave. Thus, the probability of node v being in the “no-change” state is
