Improving IP Address Autoconfiguration Security in MANETs Using Trust Modelling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Existing techniques for IP address autoconfiguration in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) do not address security issues. In this paper, we first describe some of the existing IP address autoconfiguration schemes, and discuss their security shortcomings. We then provide solutions to these security issues based on the use of trust models. A specific trust model is also proposed for use in improving the security of existing IP address autoconfiguration schemes.

Secure and Robust IPV6 Autoconfiguration Protocol For Mobile Adhoc Networks Under Strong Adversarial Model
Automatic IP address assignment in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) enables nodes to obtain routable addresses without any infrastructure. Different protocols have been developed throughout the last years to achieve this service. However, research primarily focused on correctness, efficiency and scalability; much less attention has been given to the security issues. The lack of security in the d...
متن کاملA DHCP-based IP Address Autoconfiguration for MANETs
Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are expected to become more and more important in the upcoming years, playing a significant role in 4G networks. In order to enable the deployment of IP services in such networks, IP address autoconfiguration mechanisms are required. Although the ad hoc topic has been a very intense research area, with a plethora of published papers about routing, there is a lack...
متن کاملRAA: A Ring-Based Address Autoconfiguration Protocol in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
The problem for dynamic IP address assignment is manifest in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), especially in 4G all-IP-based heterogeneous networks. In this paper, we propose a ring-based address autoconfiguration protocol to configure node addresses. This work aims at the decentralized ring-based address autoconfiguration (DRAA) protocol, which has the capability to perform low latency and whos...
متن کاملFormal Reasoning About a Specification-Based Intrusion Detection for Dynamic Auto-configuration Protocols in Ad Hoc Networks
As mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are increasingly deployed in critical environments, security becomes a paramount issue. The dynamic and decentralized nature of MANETs makes their protocols very vulnerable to attacks, for example, by malicious insiders, who can cause packets to be misrouted or cause other nodes to have improper configuration. This paper addresses security issues of auto-confi...
متن کاملPrivate Address Maps (The Disappearing MANET Autoconf Problem)
In this paper we propose a self-addressing framework for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) based on the degenerated use of network address translation (NAT) where each node builds its private “address map”. In contrast to previous proposals, MANET nodes do not need to coordinate in order to generate unique (IP) addresses. This solves an important autoconfiguration problem for MANETs and fits well...
