An identity-based broadcast encryption scheme for mobile ad hoc networks

چکیده
Dynamic ad hoc networks facilitate interconnections between mobile devices without the support of any network infrastructure. In this paper, we propose a secure identity-based ad hoc protocol for mobile devices to construct a group key for a setup of a secure communication network in an efficient way and support dynamic changing of network topology. Unlike group key management protocols proposed previously in the literature, mobile devices can use our protocol to construct the group key by observing the others’ identity, like the MAC address, which distinguishes the device from the others. In contrast to other interactive protocols, we only need one broadcast to setup the group key and member removal is also highly efficient. Finally, we discuss the security issues and provide security proofs for our protocol. Keywords— dynamic mobile ad hoc network, identity-based, non-interactive, secure communication protocol, group key

An Identity-Based Broadcast Encryption Scheme for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is an autonomous collection of mobile users that communicate over relatively bandwidth constrained wireless links. Since the nodes are mobile, the network topology may change rapidly and unpredictably over time. The network is decentralized, where all network activity including discovering the topology and delivering messages must be executed by the nodes themsel...

متن کاملEfficient Dynamic Data Encryption Algorithm for Mobile Ad Hoc Network
Two proper threshold broadcast encryption schemes are proposed for the mobile ad hoc network. The initial scheme achieves constant size private keys and O(n-t)-size ciphertexts. Under n+1-Decision Bilinear Diffie-Hellman Exponent (n+1-BDHE) assumption, it is provable security in the selective-identity model. Based on the dual system encryption, we propose our main construction. It also has cons...
متن کاملBroadcast Routing in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks: A Particle Swarm optimization Approach
While routing in multi-hop packet radio networks (static Ad-hoc wireless networks), it is crucial to minimize power consumption since nodes are powered by batteries of limited capacity and it is expensive to recharge the device. This paper studies the problem of broadcast routing in radio networks. Given a network with an identified source node, any broadcast routing is considered as a directed...
