To ensure fair and secure communication in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs), the
applications running in these networks must be regulated by proper communication policies …

In this paper we are focusing on closed MANETs where only authorized nodes are
supposed to access the network. We denote “outsider” nodes as those nodes that are not …

To enhance the mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) security, various trust-based security
schemes have been proposed. However, in most of the trust-based security schemes, a …

In this chapter, we discuss issues and survey current solutions in securing ad hoc wireless
networks. The characteristics of ad hoc networks render the trust a host could place on other …

In a mobile ad hoc network (MANET), a source node must rely on intermediate nodes to
forward its packets along multi-hop routes to the destination node. Due to the lack of …

In mobile ad hoc networks, the security enforcement and its implementation becoming
increasingly difficult due to quasi-static nature of the mobile nodes (wireless communication …

Abstract Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are increasingly employed in tactical military
and civil rapid-deployment networks, including emergency rescue operations and ad hoc …

An ad hoc network is a collection of nodes that do not need to rely on a predefined
infrastructure to keep the network connected. The current trend in military ad hoc networking …

In this paper, we look into the concept of trust in ad hoc wireless networks, and the role of
PKIs in creating trust. By allowing some simplifying assumptions, we propose a solution for …

In the last few years, the performances of wireless technologies have increased
tremendously thus opening new fields of application in the domain of networking. One of …
