Pseudonym Generation Scheme for Ad-Hoc Group Communication Based on IDH

چکیده
In this paper we describe the advantages of using iterative Diffie-Hellman (IDH) key trees for mobile ad-hoc group communication. We focus on the Treebased Group Diffie-Hellman (TGDH) protocol suite, that consists of group key agreement protocols based on IDH key trees. Furthermore, we consider the anonymity of members during group communication over a public broadcast channel that provides untraceability of messages. The main goal of the proposed pseudonym generation scheme is to allow group members to generate their own pseudonyms that can be linked to their real identities only by a democratic decision of some interacting group members. The real identities are bound to public keys used in the group key agreement. The communication and computation costs as well as the security of the scheme can be optimized with respect to the characteristics of involved mobile devices.

Pseudonym-based cryptography for anonymous communications in mobile ad hoc networks
Key management for anonymous communication in mobile ad hoc networks is a critical but unsolved problem. Many current anonymous mobile ad hoc routing protocols assume that mobile users share pairwise secrets before they start an anonymous communication session. This assumption is impractical for many ad hoc scenarios where pairwise shared keys are difficult to be set up in advance. Public-key b...
متن کاملPUCA: A pseudonym scheme with strong privacy guarantees for vehicular ad-hoc networks
Pseudonym certificates are the state-of-the-art approach for secure and privacy-friendly message authentication in vehicular ad-hoc networks. However, most of the proposed pseudonym schemes focus on privacy among participants. Privacy towards backend providers is usually (if at all) only protected by separation of responsibilities. The protection can be overridden, when the entities collaborate...

متن کاملCooperative pseudonym change scheme based on the number of neighbors in VANETs
In Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANETs), trigger-based pseudonym change schemes play an important role in providing anonymity. However, the anonymity provided by these schemes usually is low mainly because the behavior of changing pseudonym is individual. Considering cooperation on changing pseudonym can enhance anonymity, in this paper, we give a general cooperation framework. As an application ...
