Threshold Secret Sharing Authentication Scheme in Noisy Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

摘要

This paper presents a description and performance evaluation of a threshold secret sharing (TSS) authentication scheme for self-securing mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) suffering from high packet-loss and node mobility. In order to evaluate the performance of the TSS scheme in a noisy MANET, a number of simulations were carried-out. We concluded that presence of noise inflicts significant reduction in the authentication success ratio (S_R) and consequently degrades the performance of the network, while node mobility inflicts no or insignificant effects. The outcomes of these simulations are so important to facilitate efficient network management.
