“…In this paper, we have attempted to address almost all those issues for a MANET in PKI, the equivalent issues of which 45, 47 has been stated for a wired network. However, the scheme stated in Reference 45, 47 has to be entirely revamped and redone for MANETs as the behavior and characteristics of wired networks and MANETs are different and thus, those scheme and protocols designed for wired networks cannot be used effectively for MANET. The major differences are listed below: - In Reference 45, 47, the authors described a SAZ with multiple Certifying Authority's Key Revocation Server (CAKRS), which is not possible in MANET as each MAKeRS will form its own ZoNA and it is not possible to have more than one MAKeRS in a single ZoNA.
- In a wired network, we are more concerned about communication delays, message broadcast, and bandwidth consumption, but in MANET, along with communication delay, we are also concerned about the communication overheads and the power consumption.
- In general, CAKRS is considered to be static in Reference 45, 47 and the other nodes may change places, but in this proposed paper, MAKeRS and the nodes are mobile.
- In Reference 45, 47 any CAKRS could communicate with the CA server for CRL updating, but in this work, MAKeRS has to update its CRL through the Sink MAKeRS which is the only node connected to the Internet.
- In Reference 45, 47 the routers were present for packet forwarding and advertising the information of CAKRS(es) as a new option with SAZ option through the router query message (RQM).
