Secure and highly efficient three level key management scheme for MANET
Wan An Xiong, Yao Gong · WSEAS Transactions on Computers archive · 2011
MANET(Moving Ad hoc Network) is a convenient infrastructure-less communication network which is commonly susceptible to various attacks. Many key management schemes for MANETs are presented to solve various security problems. Identity (ID)-based cryptography with threshold secret sharing, ECC and Bilinear Pairing computation is a popular approach for the key management design. In this article, we adopt these approaches to construct tree structure and cluster structure ad hoc network which has three level security communication framework. After constructing the security structure, we evaluate the security performance and efficiency of the scheme in detail.
