Towards Authentication/Authorization framework for MANET

Manet is becoming popular. There are many applications: tactical operation - for fast establishment of military communication during the deployment of forces in unknown and hostile terrain;

• rescue missions - for communication in areas without adequate wireless coverage;
• national security - for communication in times of national crisis, where the existing communication infrastructure is non-operational due to a natural disaster or a global war;
• law enforcement - for fast establishment of communication infrastructure during law enforcement operations;
• commercial use - for setting up communication in exhibitions, conferences, or sales presentations;
• education - for operation of wall-free (virtual) classrooms;
• and sensor networks - for communication between intelligent sensors (e.g., MEMS2) mounted on mobile platforms.

• Routing
• Medium access control
• Multicasting
• Security

• security issues in MANET [5]:
  • Authentication (Group membership control…)
  • Key distribution
  • Encryption
  • Instrution detection

• Security state of the art
• Distributing CA (Zhou and Haas)
• ID based system (Khalili, Katz, and Arbaugh)
• Distributed Authentication (Luo et al.)
• Thredhold cryptography
• Novel quantum inspired mechanism.
