“…We started working on the modeling of small scale aeronautical scenarios as Delay-Tolerant Networks within the Spanish Science Foundation PROSES project [3], [4], along with the development of applications for these scenarios. Evolving from that limited modeling, in this paper we analyze a real scale network of transoceanic airplanes.…”

In this paper we analyze a large scale delay tolerant network (DTN) of transoceanic aircraft. We assume that each airplane in our network is equipped with a simple communication system based on IEEE802.11b/g, with a communication link of around 20 km. The characterization of this large aeronautical DTN will be used to choose routing strategies for passenger or company data, only through the contacts between airplanes, in order to use this network as a cheaper alternative to other communications systems, or as backup when no other communication systems are available. Instead of relying on synthetic data, we carry our analysis from the actual traces of 2,550 trans-Atlantic flights in the ns-3 simulator, to provide a detailed study of the network connectivity and mobility metrics (node degree, clustering, any contact time and inter any contact time). The impact of other parameters (such as radio coverage) on the network is also analyzed.

“…The authors deployed a small‐scale version of the proposed delay tolerant network scenario in a small aerodrome near Seville at the end of 2011 , where 2 days of flying tests were performed using two mobile nodes, located in an Radio Controlled (RC) fixed‐wing aircraft and an RC helicopter, and a stationary ground station. Statistics about the scenario and the characteristics of the network utilization were collected and used here to study the feasibility of the presented identity‐based access control system inside PROSES environment.…”

Pro‐active message's delay tolerant networks (DTNs) are based on the usage of mobile code to obtain messages that contain their own routing code. This architecture allows applications to use the same network in different ways. The keystone of this type of heterogeneous network is a collection of contextual and application‐related information that it is stored in every node and accessed by the messages' routing code. Access to that information must be protected in order to make the whole architecture feasible; the operation of the network has to be secure, and attacks of information poisoning have to be avoided. We propose an identity‐based access control system for pro‐active message's DTN based on tools that are available in DTN networks, like symmetric key encryption and hashes. Our system grants confidentiality and integrity to the contextual information and solves the question of messages needing to use distributed information stored in nodes to route properly. The proof of concept of identity‐based access control in a certain kind of application demonstrates the feasibility of the proposal. The comparison between our proposal and other access control systems shows that identity‐based access control is the only system that fits well with the special characteristics of pro‐active message's DTN.

“…We propose to use PrivHab to reduce the digital divide in developing countries by distributing podcast radio programs using Mobile Agent based Delay Tolerant Networking [4]. MADTN uses mobile agents to perform a store-carryand-forward strategy, and it is designed to operate in absence of simultaneous end-to-end paths.…”

Abstract. We present PrivHab, a georouting protocol that improves multiagent systems itinerary decision-making. PrivHab uses the mobility habits of the nodes of the network to select an itinerary for each agent carrying a piece of data. PrivHab makes use of cryptographic techniques to make the decisions while preserving nodes' privacy. PrivHab uses a waypoint-based georouting that achieves a high performance and low overhead in rugged terrain areas that are plenty of physical obstacles. The store-carry-and-forward approach used is based on mobile agents and is designed to operate in areas that lack network infrastructure. We have evaluated PrivHab under the scope of a realistic podcast distribution application in remote rural areas. The PrivHab protocol is compared with a set of well-known delay-tolerant routing algorithms and shown to outperform them.
