Ad-hoc networks have gained significant attention in the realm of communication due to the proliferation of mobile and IoT devices and wireless networks. Ad hoc Networks offer a decentralized approach, where each node can function as a router and a terminal. Ensuring data safety and integrity in Ad hoc Networks remains a challenge, necessitating the use of robust security mechanisms. This research focuses on the simulation of Elliptical Curve Cryptography (ECC) in the IPsec protocol on ad-hoc networks. ECC, known for its strong security and smaller key sizes, provides an effective means of protecting data packets from potential attacks. The Ad hoc On Demand Multipath Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol is employed for secure data transmission in a Ad hoc Networks. The main objective is to maintain packet security in the face of hostile environments and active adversaries. Furthermore, the results obtained from the NS-2 simulator are compared with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA). Evaluation metrics such as Quality of Service (QoS), average processing time, and average end-to-end delay are utilized. This study addresses the challenges faced by ad-hoc networks in an increasingly digital world. By exploring the implementation of ECC-based cryptography, it contributes to the development of secure communication protocols in ad-hoc networks. The findings offer insights into the efficacy of ECC in protecting data transmission and its comparative performance with other cryptographic techniques. Ultimately, this research aims to advance secure communication protocols, ensuring reliable data exchange in diverse applications and scenarios.

Key Management for Beyond 5G Mobile Small Cells: A Survey

The highly anticipated 5G network is projected to be introduced in 2020. 5G stakeholders are unanimous that densification of mobile networks is the way forward. The densification will be realized by means of small cell technology, and it is capable of providing coverage with a high data capacity. The EU-funded H2020-MSCA project ''SECRET'' introduced covering the urban landscape with mobile small cells, since these take advantages of the dynamic network topology and optimizes network services in a cost-effective fashion. By taking advantage of the device-to-device communications technology, large amounts of data can be transmitted over multiple hops and, therefore, offload the general network. However, this introduction of mobile small cells presents various security and privacy challenges. Cryptographic security solutions are capable of solving these as long as they are supported by a key management scheme. It is assumed that the network infrastructure and mobile devices from network users are unable to act as a centralized trust anchor since these are vulnerable targets to malicious attacks. Security must, therefore, be guaranteed by means of a key management scheme that decentralizes trust. Therefore, this paper surveys the state-of-the-art key management schemes proposed for similar network architectures (e.g., mobile ad hoc networks and ad hoc device-to-device networks) that decentralize trust. Furthermore, these key management schemes are evaluated for adaptability in a network of mobile small cells.

“…Servers are directly involved in any transaction and provide a real-time security guarantee to vehicular users. To identify vehicles in our system, we assume that each vehicle has a certificate issued by servers such as those proposed in the works by Dahshan and Irvine 24 and Zhong et al 25 However, for calculation services, servers act as a central processor. Thus, the relevant optimal selection algorithm is efficiently orchestrated on servers.…”

In vehicular cyber-physical systems, vehicular users are the edge nodes which are far away from the network core. Content accessing and downloading for vehicular users are expected to heavily rely on the deployment of RoadSide Units in vehicular cyber-physical systems. Although vehicular users can obtain a good content downloading service in the coverage of RoadSide Units, user experience will get worse in highway scenarios, where RoadSide Units are sparsely deployed at service areas or gas stations. In other words, the download process has a property of intermittent connectivity because many no-signal areas (dark areas) exist on the road. In this article, we try to address such shortcomings by exploiting other edge nodes (vehicles) to download contents for clients in dark areas. Considering the cooperation intention of vehicles, we first propose an incentive mechanism to stimulate vehicles to participate in cooperative downloading. Next, with an objective of maximizing the utilization of benefits, we formulate the cooperative vehicle selection problem as an optimal multiple stopping problem and derive the optimal multiple stopping rule for cooperative downloading. Finally, an extensive simulation study has been performed to investigate the effectiveness of our scheme. The results reveal the impact of different parameters on system requirements and demonstrate that the proposed scheme can maximize the throughput of content downloading in dark areas.
