Behavioral Model for Secure Group Communication in Wireless Mesh Networks

摘要

Accompanying dramatic advances in wireless Mesh networking, the demand for advanced mechanisms to employ wireless Mesh networks in public safety continues to grow. However, this special field communication brings new security challenges. In this paper, we propose a behavioral model NODE EYE for secure group communication in wireless Mesh networks. We contend that our model facilitates reasoning about protocols designed for public safety by integrating the behavioral trust and cryptographic aspects of group communication in the special field. We illustrate our concept by introducing group key agreement and distribution protocols to support special communication cases associated with the public safety.
