Data Security-Based Routing in MANETs Using Key Management Mechanism

ML-Enhanced Live Video Streaming in Offline Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: An Applied Approach

“…Similar to the challenges of scalability, security emerges as a significant concern in MANETs. The essential connectivity between devices, coupled with the use of local wireless interfaces, demands the incorporation of mechanisms dedicated to ensuring security and averting potential attacks [29]. In the context of the proposed architecture, it is especially critical to address security in a manner that preserves the QoS and QoE.…”

“…Given that the architecture enables streaming transmission within dynamic MANET environments, emphasis on security is essential for ensuring both the privacy and integrity of the streamed content. To this end, a hybrid approach that combines symmetric and asymmetric encryption can satisfactorily meet the stringent QoS requirements, while aiming to reduce its impact on the resource consumption in nodes [29,30]. Concretely, the symmetric encryption technique uses the same key for both encryption and decryption, becoming efficient in MANETs.…”

“…Data encrypted with the public key can only be decrypted with the corresponding private key, and vice versa. This allows for secure communication in which the public key can be shared openly [29]. Considering this, a hybrid approach can be applied, aiming to apply asymmetric encryption to share a symmetric key between ends.…”
