Abstract :
Key management infrastructure in an ad hoc network needs to be formed in an ad hoc manner. This paper introduces a novel multipurpose ad hoc key management infrastructure (KMI) that can be used to provide symmetric key infrastructure (SKI) or public key infrastructure (PKI). A further application to group keying with distributed group membership management is also discussed.
