Ad hoc networks enable efficient resource aggregation in decentralized manner, and are inherently scalable and fault-tolerant since they do not depend on any centralized authority. However, lack of a centralized authority prompts many security-related challenges. Moreover, the dynamic topology change in which network nodes frequently join and leave adds a further complication in designing effective and efficient security mechanism. Security services for ad hoc networks need to be provided in a scalable and fault-tolerant manner while allowing for membership change of network nodes. In this paper, we investigate distributed certification mechanisms using a threshold cryptography in a way that the functions of a CA(Certification Authority) are distributed into the network nodes themselves and certain number of nodes jointly issue public key certificates to future joining nodes. In the process, we summarize one interesting report [5] in which the recently proposed RSA-based ad hoc signature scheme, called URSA, contains unfortunate yet serious security flaws. We then propose new scheme by fixing their security flaws.

VANET(Vehicular Ad-hoc Network) is a kind of ad hoc networks consist of intelligence vehicular ad nodes, and has become a hot emerging research project in many fields. It provide traffic safety, cooperative driving and etc. but has also some security problems that can be occurred in general ad hoc networks. Also, in VANET, vehiculars sho uld be able to authenticate each other to securely communicate with network-based infrastructure, and their location s and identifiers should not be exposed from the communication messages. This paper explains V2I authentication pr otocol using a hash function that preserves the user privacy. In addition, we analyze the security stability of the V2I authentication protocol using Casper in the formal verification technique. As a result, V2I authentication protocol us ing hash function prove a stability.

Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of nodes or communication devices that wish to communicate without any fixed infrastructure and predetermined organization of available links. The effort has been made by proposing a scheme to overcome the critical security issue in MANET. The insufficiency of security considerations in the design of Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector protocol makes it vulnerable to the threats of collaborative black hole attacks, where hacker nodes attack the data packets and drop them instead of forwarding. To secure mobile ad hoc networks from collaborative black hole attacks, we implement our scheme and considered sensor's energy as a key feature with a better packet delivery ratio, less delay time and high throughput. The proposed scheme has offered an improved solution to diminish collaborative black hole attacks with high performance and benchmark results as compared to the existing schemes EDRIAODV and DRIAODV respectively. This paper has shown that throughput and packet delivery ratio increase while the end to end delay decreases as compared to existing schemes. It also reduces the overall energy consumption and network traffic by maintaining accuracy and high detection rate which is more safe and reliable for future work.

최근 무선 환경에서의 이동 노드들간의 라우팅을 지원하는 이동 Ad-Hoc 네트워크에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이동 Ad-hoc 네트워크는 기반 시설이 존재하지 않거나 설치가 용이하지 않은 지역에서 고정된 기반망의 도움없이 이동 노드들간에 자율적으로 구성되는 망이다. 본 논문에서는 이동 Ad-Hoc 네트워크의 기술현황을 살펴보고 현재 논의되고 있는 주요 기술 이슈에 대해 알아보았다. 특히 Ad-Hoc 네트워크는 무선의 특성상 보안에 취약하므로, 보안성을 지원하기 위한 기술들을 중점으로 살펴보았다. Ad-Hoc 네트워크의 보안 기술로는 ARAN, SAR, Ariadne, SEAD 등이 있다.

Because ad hoc network is vulnerable to attacks such as routing disruption and resource consumption, it is in need of routing protocol security. In this paper, we propose an efficient and secure route discovery protocol for ad hoc network using symmetric key cryptography. This protocol has small computation loads at each hop using symmetric key cryptography. In the Route Reply, encryption/decrytion are used to guard against active attackers disguising a hop on the network.

Ad-hoc network is composed of mobile nodes and has a vulnerability of attack like on conventional wire networks. So, many studies have been conducted to apply the traceback mechanism on wire network to Ad-hoc network. In this paper, a new mechanism that can trace back to IP source of spoofing DDoS packet using iTrace message on Ad-hoc network is proposed. The proposed mechanism implements ICMP Traceback message and the traceback path between agents allocated in local network and a server located in management network. Also the proposed mechanism can trace the position of attacker even after an attack is over and has extendability through standardization by using a mechanism that IETF proposed. Result of performance evaluation shows a great improvement in terms of load, integrity, safety, traceback function as compared with conventional mechanisms.

In ad hoc network, especially in the environment which the system authority only exists at the beginning of the network, it is very important problem how to issue the certificates in self-initialized public key scheme that a node generates its certificate with public and private key pair and is signed that by the system authority. In order to solve this problem, early works present some suggestions; remove the system authority itself and use certificate chain, or make nodes as system authorities for other nodes' certificates. In this paper, we suggest another solution, which can solve many problem still in those suggestions, using proxy signature and threshold signature, and prove its performance using simulation and analyse its security strength in many aspects.

Ad-Hoc network is wireless network architecture without infrastructure. We encounter new types of security problems in Ad-Hoc networks because such networks have little or no support from infrastructure. Thus, wireless communications need security mechanisms in order to guarantee the integrity and the privacy of the communication, as well as the authentication of the entities involved. Many practical systems have been proposed. The most familiar system is the Diffie-Hellman key distribution system. This algorithm allows the establishment of a cryptographic secret key between two entities. If more than two users want to compute a common key, then a group key agreement system is used. This paper discusses several group key agreement systems and presents two efficient fault tolerant methods to perform successful group key agreement.

무선 ad hoc 네트워크는 고정된 기반 망의 도움없이 이동 단말만으로 구성된 자율적이고 독립적인 네트워크로 최근 다양한 분야에서의 활용이 논의되고 있다. 그러나, ad hoc 네트워크는 구성이 변하기 쉬운 환경이므로 불법 노드가 네트워크 자원소비 및 경로방해 등의 동작이 용이하므로 라우팅 프로토콜 보호가 필요하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 무선 ad hoc 네트워크에서의 대표적인 안전한 라우팅 프로토콜인 Ariadne 프로토콜, ARAN 프로토콜 그리고 SAODV 프로토콜에 관하여 기술하고자 한다.
