Efficient routing and medium access control (MAC) are very important for Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). Most existing routing and MAC protocols consider homogeneous ad hoc networ...
We address the issue of encrypting data in local storage using a key that is derived from the user's password. The typical solution in use today is to derive the key from the...
