Research on a certificate-based authentication for mobile ad hoc networks
Mao Xiaodong, Wang Dahu, Tong Zhang, Huang Keming · 2010
Our contribution in this paper is twofold: we first analyze the requirements of a secure distributed authentication system for MANETs, and then survey some of the existing certificate-based authentication mechanisms, by analyzing their features, including pros and cons, in the context of distributed authentication. Finally, a series of scenario-based simulation experiments and metrics are proposed to evaluate these features.
