Access Control Mechansim for Mobile Ad Hoc Network of Networks (MANoN)

摘要

Many military research efforts have concentrated on how to allow war-fighters to take advantage of all available information within the battlefield in a rapid and flexible manner. As a result, the development of the Global Information Grid (GIG) was the key enabler for this process; hence, adding to the development of the mobile networking part of the GIG, the concept of the Mobile Ad hoc Network of Networks (MANoN) is introduced. This paper proposes a novel access control mechanism achieving the prevention essential; defined in the ITU-T M.3400 security management recommendation to manage securely the future of military Network-Centric Warfare (NCW). The authors will employ formal description as a method of handling both sequential and parallel composition in flexible timely constrains, in addition, this technique will be evaluated using the Network Simulator (NS-2) to provide and check whether access control requirements are met in a comprehensive manner.
