Securing Wireless Ad Hoc Networks:Towards A Mobile Agent Security Architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Achieving secure communication is especially challenging in wireless ad hoc networks, where no infrastructure or central authority exists, and the state and topology of the network is dynamic and fault-prone. These unique characteristics of wireless ad hoc networks make traditional cryptographic mechanisms and assumptions inappropriate. In this paper, we propose mobile agents as a solution to the key management for wireless ad hoc networks and examine the feasibility of such a solution

Mobile ad hoc networks are networks composed of wireless devices to create a network with the ability for self-organization. These networks are designed as a new generation of computer networks to satisfy some specific requirements and with features different from wired networks. These networks have no fixed communication infrastructure and for communication with other nodes the intermediate no...

متن کاملSecurity in Ad Hoc Networks: a General Intrusion Detection Architecture Enhancing Trust Based Approaches
In the last few years, the performances of wireless technologies have increased tremendously thus opening new fields of application in the domain of networking. One of such fields concerns mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) in which mobile nodes organise themselves in a network without the help of any predefined infrastructure. Securing MANETs is just as important, if not more, as securing traditi...
