1. Authentication: only users who are authenticated to see the message can only read that message.
2. Scalability: It shows how many persons can use the key, as if a large group of people can use the key and if the other users which are being added can also it means that the key is scalable.
3. Effectiveness: What is the maximum amount of data that can be encrypted using the key and with which much time it is taking up in the encryption.
4. Distribution: It shows how the keys can be distributed for communication.
