Key agreement for heterogeneous mobile ad-hoc groups

An Authenticated Key Agreement Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

The growing popularity of wireless ad hoc networks has brought increasing attention to many security issues for such networks. A lot of research has been carried out in the areas of authentication and key management for such networks. However, due to lack of existing standards for such networks, most of the proposed schemes are based on different assumptions and are applicable only in specific ...

Key Agreement in Ad Hoc Networks

A New Group Key Agreement Protocol for Ad Hoc Networks

A mobile ad hoc network is a collection of autonomous nodes that communicate with each other by forming a multi-top wireless network. Different from conventional wireless networks, the resource of the nodes in ad hoc networks is limited and there may be tens of thousands of low-power energy constrained nodes in ad hoc networks. As such, the costs of the nodes resource and the network size shoul...

EÆcient Hybrid Key Agreement Protocol for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

|Secure and eÆcient communication among a set of mobile nodes is one of the most important aspects in ad-hoc wireless networks. To ensure the security, several cryptography protocols must be implemented. Due to the resource scarcity in wireless networks, the protocols must be communication eÆcient and need as less computational power as possible. To secure the group broadcasting in wireless net...

ID-Based Key Agreement with Anonymity for Ad Hoc Networks

Security support is a must for ad hoc networks. However, existing key agreement schemes for ad hoc networks ignore the issue of entity anonymity. Without anonymity, the adversary can easily identify and track specific entities in the communications. Not only entities’ movement information is valuable to the adversary but also the adversary can launch heavy attacks on those important nodes, base...
