Abstract
This paper provides a novel security solution for hybrid
mobile ad hoc networks. The solution relies on secure
network configuration, which is based on the use of
preconfigured self-certifying identifiers stored into a
portable memory device by a trusted party, to be attached
with ad hoc network nodes. Mutual authentication is
carried between the friendly neighbour nodes based on the
self-certifying identifiers, resulting a safe subnetwork
inside the local ad hoc network. The route discovery is
carried only in the safe subnetwork through trusted
nodes, and therefore the route found always goes only via
trusted nodes. The provided solution is realized as
secure ad hoc routing protocol (SARP), which is evaluated
in a laboratory environment using an ad hoc network
consisting of 11 nodes with/without connection to static
networks. The evaluations indicate sensible level of
delays and performance even if security is taken on
board. (12 refs.)
