A Study on Contributory Group Key Agreements for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Abstract

Wireless networks, in particular Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) have revolutionized the field of networking with increasing number of their commercial and military applications. Security on the other hand, is now an essential requirement for these applications. However, the limitations of the dynamic, infrastructure-less nature of MANETs impose major difficulties in establishing a secure framework suitable for such services. Security for MANETs is a dynamic area of research. Most of the traditional routing protocols proposed for MANETs are focused on routing only not on the security aspects. As in traditional wired networks, wireless networks also require security. Unlike the wired networks, where dedicated routers, servers control the network, in MANETs nodes act both as terminals and also as routers for other nodes. A popular mechanism to satisfy the security requirements is the Group Key Management in which the group key is to be shared by each group communication participant. But to establish and manage the group key efficiently imposes new challengesespecially in infrastructure less MANETs. The basic needs of such networks require that the group key schemes must demonstrate not only high performance but also fault-tolerance.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Realization of Freedom of Movement in the European Union and Its Member States

“…Art. 20 of the TFEU and do not fall under the interpretation of the concept of "persons enjoying the right to free movement") and their family members, regardless of their citizenship, who, on the basis of agreements [19] concluded between the Union and its Member States, on the one hand, and these third countries on the other hand, enjoy the rights in the field of free movement, which are equivalent to the rights of free movement.…”

An Efficient Autonomous Key Management With Reduced Communication/Computation Costs in Mobile Ad Hoc Network

“…Numerous key management schemes have been proposed for MANET. Raghavendran et al (2013) MANETs have revolutionized the field of networking with increasing number of their commercial and military applications. For this security is now an essential requirement for these applications.…”
