Security Enhancements for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks with Trust Management Using Uncertain Reasoning

摘要

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks and Applications are formed by wireless hosts Without using a preexisting infrastructure. This paper presents the design and implementation of a policy enforcing mechanism based on Satem, a kernellevel trusted execution monitor built on top of the Trusted Platform Module. Each application or protocol has an associated policy. Two instances of an application running on different nodes may engage in communication only if these nodes enforce the same set of policies for both the application and the underlying protocols used by the application. In this way, nodes can form trusted application centric networks.
