A Key Management Scheme in Opportunistic Networks Based on Distributed Storage

Abstract

Aiming at the difficulty of key distribution and identity authentication in the opportunistic network, this paper proposes a self-organized public key management scheme. This solution solves the problem of nodes in the opportunistic network through distributed storage of public keys and public key strengthening mechanisms. The problem of difficult key distribution caused by poor connectivity. Simulation experiments show that the scheme can effectively guarantee secure communication and has good anti-attack ability.
