Constraints and Approaches for Distributed Mobile AD-HOC Network Security

摘要

This document describes our SAFEMITS network constraints and key management approaches research for year 2. As a first step SUNYIT research team has researched mobile ad-hoc network technology and the unique communications environment in which it will be deployed. We have identified the requirements specific to our problem of providing key management for confidentially and group-level authentication. We have also identified constraints, particularly energy consumption that render this problem difficult.
