Self-organized authentication in mobile ad-hoc networks

A Self-organized Authentication Architecture in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

Network security is considered one of the obstacles that prevent the wide deployment of ad-hoc wireless networks. Among many security problems, authentication is the most fundamental problem that has to be solved before any others. Some previous solutions requiring centralized entities were not scalable and others requiring physical encounter took a long time. We propose a new architecture, cal...

Self-organized Anonymous Authentication in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Pervasive communications bring along new privacy challenges, fueled by the capability of mobile devices to communicate with, and thus “sniff on”, each other directly. We design a new mechanism that aims at achieving location privacy in these forthcoming mobile networks, whereby mobile nodes collect the pseudonyms of the nodes they encounter to generate their own privacy cloaks. Thus, privacy em...

Serema: self-organized routing in heterogeneous mobile ad hoc networks

Self organized routing in wide area mobile ad-hoc networks

This paper considers the problem of routing in a wide area mobile ad-hoc network called Terminode Network. Our routing scheme is a combination of two protocols called Terminode Local Routing (TLR) and Terminode Remote Routing (TRR). TRR is activated when the destination is remote and uses location of the destination obtained either via location management or by location tracking. TLR acts when ...

Self-Organized Public Key Cryptography in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

A Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is a self-organizing, short-lived infrastructure-free, multi-hop wireless network that contains collection of cooperative autonomous freely roaming mobile nodes communicating with each other by wireless radio links with no human intervention. Each mobile node functions as a specialized router to relay information to other mobile nodes. Selforganization mechanisms...
