| Abstract | A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is an autonomous collection of mobile users that communicate over relatively bandwidth constrained wireless links. Since the nodes are mobile, the network topology may change rapidly and unpredictably over time. The network is decentralized, where all network activity including discovering the topology and delivering messages must be executed by the nodes themselves, i.e., routing functionality will be incorporated into mobile nodes. Such networks are more vulnerable to security attacks than conventional wireless networks. In this paper, we propose a secure identity-based ad hoc protocol for mobile devices to construct a group key for a setup of a secure communication network in an efficient way and propose a collision-free method for computing such keys. Unlike group key management protocols, we use identity-based keys that do not require certificates which simplify key management. In contrast to other interactive protocols, we only need one broadcast to setup the group key and member removal is also highly efficient. |
