Abstract-The Better Approach To Mobile Ad-hoc Networking (BATMAN) protocol is intended as a replacement for protocols such as OLSR, but just like most such efforts, BATMAN has no built-in security features. In this paper we describe security extensions to BATMAN that control network participation and prevent unauthorized nodes from influencing network routing.
