“…Our schemes work securely and properly on the assumption, which is similar to assumptions made in [12][13][14], that adversaries compromise no more than ( − 1) out of CHs in a given time period. In practice, it is hard to compromise, in a given time period, CHs, which are more secure and powerful than common nodes and are geographically distributed over a wide area.…”

Security supports are a significant factor in the design of security system in ad hoc networks. It is particularly important to protect the identities of individual nodes to avoid personal privacy concerns. In this paper, we propose a security system for ID-based anonymous cluster-based MANETs to protect the privacy of nodes. Moreover, we propose a threshold signature scheme without pairing computations, which diminishes the computation load on each node. To the best of our knowledge, our proposed security system is the first in which the pseudonym is combined with cluster-based mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) without a trusted entity. According to our protocol analysis, our proposal satisfies most properties for an anonymous security system and effectively copes with dynamic environments with greater efficiency by using secret sharing schemes. Therefore, it could be usefully applied to preserve privacy in dynamic MANETs without a trusted entity, such as military battlefields, emergency areas, mobile marketplaces, and vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs).

Abstract-The wireless mobile nodes are capable to build spontaneously temporary wireless network in absence of infrastructure like AP, Router etc. and they act as a wireless router. Due to this, wireless mobile nodes are capable for forwarding messages to other nodes. MANET (Mobile Adhoc Network) is a one of the wireless network and forms a temporary connection across the mobile nodes without central infrastructure to exchange the information. Due to the characteristics of MANET, it is vulnerable to active and passive attacks from internal and external attacker. This will lead to various security challenges. There is a requirement to secure the MANET from threats and vulnerability. Many security mechanisms are established to secure and protect the MANET. This article is intended to provide contemporary MANET security with perspective of routing protocol security and data security with key management, and monitoring the MANET during routing and/or data transmission using IDS (Intrusion Detection System). This article presents the various attacks face by MANET and its security goals. The article explored various security solutions for routing protocols, data security using cryptography as a first line of defence, key management for securing communication. . MANET is a self-organized and less infrastructure temporary wireless network where the contents are transferred from node to node. In this environment, all nodes are equally works as a router. The MANET's characteristics are wireless link as a shared medium, dynamic topology, node mobility, limited energy, limited resources, distributed operations, fewer infrastructures, self organized, all nodes are not trusted, multipath route etc. MANET has unique challenges due to its characteristics. Hence, MANET is vulnerable toward a great variety of attacks [4] due to its challenges. However, MANET is flexible, scalable, relatively cheap and easily deployable at any place and time because of its characteristics. On the other side, the MANET is vulnerable to availability, integrity, privacy, indeed, eavesdropping and interception. It is also vulnerable to node suppression, node replication and node impersonation due to self organized topology. Secure routing, security of content transfer, quality of service (QoS) and service discovery are the main security goals in adhoc networking [3].MANET can be used in tactical networks like military communication and operations, emergency services like disaster recovery and rescue operation, commercial sector like networks of visitors at airports and PAN (Personal Area Network), enterprise networking like networks at construction sites, education network like virtual classrooms, entertainment network like multi user games, sensor network like animal movement, context aware services and coverage extension like linking up with the Internet, intranets etc.In this paper, we focus on contemporary MANET security. This paper is organized as follows. Section 2 describes the MANET attacks and security goal. Section 3 describes the approaches...

Abstract. Ad-hoc network without centralized infrastructure makes its security problem tricky. In this paper, we proposed a full distributed secret key management scheme to handle it. The main contribution of this paper is that we combined combined-RSA threshold scheme with elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) to construct a full distributed secret key management scheme. There are several advantages in our scheme comparing with traditional distributed secret key management key: First we transfer the secret share generation process from initiator to nodes which belong to this network so that ECC generation process and secret share generation process can be performed in parallel. Second, the establishment of secure communication between nodes is straightforward and efficient. Third the secret share generation process for new node non-interactive, furthermore secret share update process is also non-interactive. At last we also analyzed the strength of security of the scheme to show it can fulfill the security requirements of ad-hoc.
