Abstract
Self-organization introduces major challenges to security and trust
management in mobile ad hoc networks. In addition, security threats and
vulnerabilities include lack of proper authentication, insecure routing and
complex mobility and identity management needs. If nodes do not have any
prior knowledge of each other, trust establishment becomes complicated. For
this kind of scenarios, we propose a mechanism that the nodes themselves
should be responsible of their own security - or they could trust certain
known nodes, "micro-operators." In addition, we compare trust establishment
in both operator-controlled and self-organized mobile ad hoc networks using
example scenarios. In operator-controlled case, a trusted third partner
provides central administration for the network via a decoupling point. In
the self-organized case, networks are formed without central administration.
