Abstract:

We present a security architecture for access control in ad-hoc networks of mobile electronic devices. Ad-hoc networks are formed on demand without support from pre-existing infrastructure such as central servers, security associations or CAs. Our architecture is fully distributed and based on groups and public-key certification. The goal is a survivable system that functions well even when network nodes fail and connections are only occasional. We identify some open problems in the optimal use of unreliable communications for security management.

Keywords:

ad-hoc networks, access control, security management
