Secure Clustering for Building Certificate Management Nodes in Ad-Hoc Network

Ad hoc networks have emerged from wireless technology, which consist of wireless nodes with absence of a stationary infrastructure. These networks are inherently vulnerable to security attacks from malicious users. Therefore, providing distinct security for ad hoc networks becomes a primary concern and requires several challenges to be achieved. One main challenge is how to manage public keys´ certificates among ad hoc nodes. This paper introduces a fast and secure clustering scheme by select candidate´s nodes using voting method, This method is to select certificates management node which manages certificates on behave of other nodes in ad hoc network.
