Abstract:
Mobile Ad hoc NETworks(MANET) is a totally new concept in which mobile nodes are able to communicate together over wireless links in an independent manner,without needing any fixed physical infrastructure and centralized organizational/administrative infrastructure.However,the nature of ad hoc networks makes them very vulnerable to security threats.Generation and distribution of shared keys for CA(Certification Authority)is challenging in security solution based on distributed PKI/CA.Those solutions that have been proposed in the literature and some issues are discussed.This paper propose the solution of distributed generation of shared CA keys based on threshold RSA cryptosystems,with which the security and robustness of system is enhanced.
