Abstract:
Providing secure communication between nodes in mobile ad hoc networks is critical in many applications. In this paper, we present our work on a key distribution scheme for mobile ad hoc networks. Unlike traditional key distributions which establish encryption keys prior to node deployment we devise a post-deployment key distribution scheme to allow nodes a higher chance of connectivity with neighboring nodes. At the same time, nodes are able to be highly mobile within the network while reducing the need for excessive storage of encryption keys by each node in the network.
