Security research based on elliptic curves cryptosystems in mobile Ad Hoc networks
Wang Mei-qin · Journal of Shandong University · 2004
Security is the bottleneck constrained the application of mobile Ad Hoc networks(MANET),the security includes key agreement key management and secure routing .The Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems (ECC)are proper to be applied in environments like mobile Ad Hoc networks, they can provide equivalent security as the other existing public key schemes,using much shorter keys. A group key agreement method using ECDH (elliptic curve Diffie-Helleman) is presented ,which is based on GDH.3 protocol in MANET, and the elliptic curve digital signature algorithm(ECDSA)) is applied to securing on-demand routing after which was introduced. According to the experimentation results,the feasibility of our scheme is validated.
