Security Extensions to MMARP Through Cryptographically Generated Addresses
Francisco J. Galera, Pedro M. Ruiz, Antonio Skármeta, Andreas Kassler · 2005
Abstract: The MMARP protocol provides multicast routing in hybrid environments in which an ad hoc network is connected to the Internet. As manyother routing protocols it wasinitially designed without taking into account security concerns. In this paper we propose some extensions to protect the protocol against spoofing and forging attacks. Our solution, based on cryptographically generated addresses and digital signatures, has proventobeeffective without the presence of acentralized certification authority. 1
