==VIII.1 Schematic view of the key exchange==
The protocol computes a unified session key for all participants. This imposes, in particular, the necessity that all <math>plist_i</math>' is identical for all participants. -*++-HoweverHowever, as consistent view is part of ''(n+1)sec'' security model, it does not impose extra limitation on the protocol. For more information please see [[#Participatory_vs_individually_independent_computation_of_group_keys|Appendix B: Participatory vs individually independent computation of group keys]].
For simplicity, group operation is written multiplicatively (even though it is actually an elliptic curve point operation traditionally represented by addition).
Whenever our design deviates from [ACMP10], it is marked in {{Font color|black|yellow|yellow}}. We have abstracted out the steps mentioned in [ACMP10] as an independent primitive in {{Font color|black|pink|pink}}, however the resulting computation is identical with the one in [ACMP10] protocol:
'''Algorithm 1'''
