– As mobile wireless ad hoc networks have different characteristics from wired networks and even from standard wireless networks, there are new challenges related to security iss...
A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructureless network of wireless mobile nodes that cooperate among each other to maintain connectivity of the network. In comparison to...
—It is well known that IEEE 802.11 provides a physical layer multirate capability and, hence, MAC layer mechanisms are needed to exploit this capability. Several solutions have b...
Recently, identity-based cryptographic (IBC) schemes have been considered to secure mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) due to their efficient key management properties. However, propo...
Ad hoc networks rely on nodes forwarding each other’s packets, making trust and cooperation key issues for ensuring network performance. As long as all nodes in the network belo...
