Trust Based Authentication Key Distribution System for Mobile Ad Hoc Network

M.B. Mukesh Krishnan, Dr. P. Sheik Abdul Khader

Abstract


This paper is concerned towards providing trust based authentication key distribution system for mobile ad hoc network (MANET). Traditional authentication key distribution methods cannot be able to adopt for securing the MANET due to infrastructure less nature and lack of trust among nodes. We propose an authentication key distribution scheme for MANET which authenticates a node as well as provide a trust chain among nodes which enables secured and reliable key distribution. This paper also focuses on enhancing co-operation between nodes through trust chain.
