Identity Based Schemes for Securing Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Attacks can be launched at any layer of the protocol stack in mobile ad hoc network. In my PhD research, only attacks on Network and Transport layers have been studied and some secure mechanisms for preventing those attacks are formalized. The overall work can be viewed as a combination of four problems and our goal is to solve these problems: (a) Secure distribution of IP addresses in a distributed and dynamic way; (b) Providing security in AODV; (c) Providing security in TCP; and (d) Providing QoS and secure TCP for mobile ad networks.
