Towards Authentication/Authorization framework for MANET
Introduction
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.
Challenges in MANET
- Routing
- Medium access control
- Multicasting
- Security
MANET Security - State of the art
- 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.
