Secure communication between two nodes in a network depends on reliable key
management systems that generate and distribute keys between communicating nodes and …

In this chapter, we present the recent research that has been done in order to come up with
secure routing protocols for ad hoc networks that cope with threats that are specific to the ad …

The wireless and dynamic nature of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) leaves them more
vulnerable to security attacks than their wired counterparts. The nodes act both as routers …

Securing ad-hoc networks is a challenging task owing to their specific characteristics. One of
the major challenges is that ad-hoc networks typically lack a fixed infrastructure, both in the …

In wirelesss ad hoc networks basic network operations are carried out through the
cooperation of all available nodes. Due to the inherent lack of a managed infrastructure the …

This paper proposes a key management scheme for MANET (Mobile Ad hoc NETworks)
networks that uses asymmetric cryptography without requiring nodes to know the public keys …

Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETS) are infrastructure less networks and the topology of this
network is always changing. The nodes can enter and leave the network at any time. These …

In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), mobile nodes use wireless devices to create
spontaneously a larger network, larger than radio range, in which communication with each …

In this paper we present a key management protocol for wireless ad hoc multi-hop networks.
Two objectives were crucial in our design:(1) distributed trust to ensure robustness, and (2) …

Secure routing protocols for ad hoc networks use group keys for authenticating control
messages without high energy consumption. A distributed and robust group-key …
