“…Centralized approaches use a central server for address assignment in a newly joining node. The disadvantage of these methods is the possibility of single point of failure in the central server which can disrupt the entire network [35,36]. Decentralized approaches allow the node to pick an IP address and then check for uniqueness [37,38].…”

Original scientific paper In mobile adhoc networks (MANETs) a tree-based dynamic address auto-configuration protocol (T-DAAP) is one of the best protocols designed for address assignment as far as the network throughput and packet delays are concerned. Moreover, MANET security is an important factor for many applications given that any node can listen to the channel and overhear the packets being transmitted. In this paper, we merge the address assignment with the security key delivery into one protocol, such that a node in the MANET is configured with IP address and security key simultaneously. To the best of our knowledge, no single protocol provides concurrent assignment of IP addresses and security keys for MANET nodes. The proposed method, which is based on T-DAAP, shows significant enhancements in the required control packets needed for assigning network nodes IP addresses and security keys, MAC layer packets, total end-to-end delay, and channel throughput over those obtained when using separate protocols. Additionally, it provides not only efficient security keys to the nodes from the first moment they join the network, but also secure delivery of the address and security key to all participating nodes. It is noteworthy to mention that providing a complete security model for MANET to detect and countermeasure network security threats and attacks is beyond the scope of our proposed protocol.

“…In other words, achieving a unique address requires a flooding to neighbors only. These approaches have been found to be the best for MANET in terms of delay, flooding, and throughput [30,35,39]. Hence, the proposed protocol employs a neighbor based protocol for address assignment part.…”
