We encounter new types of security problems in ad hoc networks because such networks have little or no support infrastructure. In this paper we consider one such problem: a group of people in a meeting room do not have access to public key infrastructure or third party key management service, and th

โฆ Synopsis
We present a new non-interactive key agreement and progression (NIKAP) scheme for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), which does not require an on-line centralized authority, can non-interactively establish and update pairwise keys between nodes, is configurable to operate synchronously or asynchronously, and supports differentiated security services w.r.t. the given security policies. NIKAP is valuable to scenarios where pairwise keys are desired to be established without explicit negotiation over insecure channels, and also need to be updated frequently.

In a mobile ad hoc network (MANET), a source node must rely on intermediate nodes to forward its packets along multi-hop routes to the destination node. Due to the lack of infrastructure in such networks, secure and reliable packet delivery is challenging. We propose a robust cooperative trust estab
