Considerations and Open Issues in Delay Tolerant Network'S (DTNs) Security
نویسندگان
چکیده
Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) addresses challenges of providing end-to-end service where end-to-end data forwarding paths may not exist. Security and privacy are crucial to the wide deployments of DTN. Without security and privacy guarantees, people are reluctant to accept such a new network paradigm. To address the security and privacy issues in DTNs, we in this paper have discussed the various open issues and challenges which need to be addressed to evolve the secure DTNs.

Towards Securing Disruption-Tolerant Networking
Most of the existing Internet applications are built on the assumption of immediate end-to-end connectivity. However, there are many scenarios, like messaging in sparsely populated areas, in which immediate connectivity is not available. Traditional approaches for communication security may not apply in such disruption-prone environments. Recently, the use of identity-based cryptography has bee...
متن کاملDelegation Forwarding in Delay Tolerant Networks Multicasting
Delay tolerant networks (DTNs) are a special type of wireless mobile networks which may lack continuous network connectivity. Multicast supports the distribution of data to a group of users, a service needed for many potential DTNs applications. While multicasting in the Internet and mobile ad hoc networks has been studied extensively, due to the unique characteristic of frequent partitioning i...
متن کاملTransport Layer Issues in Delay Tolerant Mobile Networks
The tremendous increase in wireless devices and user mobility have ultimately resulted in a new set of networking challenges that previously did not exist. Some of these challenges include large delays, intermittent connectivity and most importantly, the absence of an endto-end path from sources to destinations. Networks characterized by one or more of these challenges are called Delay Tolerant...
متن کاملAuthenticated Key Exchange (AKE) in Delay Tolerant Networks
Key exchange is considered to be a challenging problem in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) operating in space environments. In this paper we investigate the options for integrating key exchange protocols with the Bundle Protocol. We demonstrate this by using a one-pass key establishment protocol. In doing so, we also highlight the peculiarities, issues and opportunities a DTN network maintains, w...
متن کاملAutomated key exchange protocol evaluation in delay tolerant networks
Cryptographic key exchange is considered to be a challenging problem in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) operating in deep space environments. The difficulties and challenges are attributed to the peculiarities and constraints of the harsh communication conditions DTNs typically operate in, rather than the actual features of the underlying key management cryptographic protocols and solutions. In ...
