Review of MANETS Using Distributed Public-key Cryptography
This work addresses security for mobile ad-hoc networks, but appears incremental as it reviews existing methods without introducing new paradigms.
The paper tackles the challenge of securing mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) by proposing the use of distributed public-key cryptography, addressing conflicts between security demands and network constraints like low power and processing load, but does not report specific results or numbers.
Ensuring security is something that is not easily done as many of the demands of network security conflict with the demands of mobile networks, majorly because of the nature of the mobile devices (e.g. low power consumption, low processing load). The study of secure distributed key agreement has great theoretical and practical significance. Securing Mobile Ad-hoc Networks using Distributed Public-key Cryptography in pairing with Mobile Ad hoc Networks and various protocols are essential for secure communications in open and distributed environment.
