An Identity-based Key Management and Authentication in Wireless Ad Hoc Network
Liang Jin · Ship Electronic Engineering · 2012
In this paper,a distributed key management and authentication approach based on identity in wireless Ad Hoc network is introduced.Each node uses the identity as its public key.The master private is shared by the private key of every node.Threshold and identity-based key management and authentication are used.The identity-based mechanism is applied here not only to provide end-to-end authenticity and confidentiality,but also to save network bandwidth and computational power of wireless nodes.It is very efficient and robust to transfer packets.
