Abstract :
In this paper we investigate the selection of an optimal threshold level that takes into account security and quality of service requirements for ad hoc networks. We incorporate intelligence into the selection of an optimal threshold for a distributed threshold cryptography scheme for a distributed trust model in ad hoc networks. We investigate both local and global threshold schemes.
