Secure self-distributed certificate scheme for mobile ad hoc networks

Key certificate is a difficult security problem in mobile ad hoc network because of many new features different from traditional networks. In this paper, we proposed a secure self-distributed certificate scheme suitable for mobile ad hoc networks, in which each node stores some certification built by selection algorithm and implement certificate by Multiple bounded disjoint paths certificate algorithm. The simulation results show the scheme is high security of certificate, good performance, fully self-organized, robust and scalable.
