Abstract
As the absence of a centralized control in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET), the tradition public key infrastructure (PKI) model is not fully applicable in MANET scenarios. In this paper, we have implemented a fully distributed Certificate Authority (CA) which based the Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) combined with distributed secrete sharing algorithm [1], and integrated it with an OLSR MANET. With the advantage of less computing and communication loss, the proposed scheme is more suit the MANET environment.
