A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a group of independent mobile computing nodes that consist of a multi-hop wireless network without a central administration or any infrastructure. Every node that wants to join a MANET must obtain an address for communication. Having a centralized DHCP server that provides addresses to nodes, we can easily and automatically obtain addresses. However, a MANET lacks any fixed infrastructure such as a DHCP server. We therefore propose a distributed address autoconfiguration approach for a MANET using a reserved address and optimistic Duplicated Address Detection (DAD). The reserved address helps to reduce the allocation latency, and the optimistic DAD guarantees the uniqueness of addresses and lessens communication overhead. We then suggest methods of handling network partition and network merging situations, and go on to evaluate our approach through simulations. The simulation result shows that our scheme guarantees the uniqueness of allocated address and considerably improves allocation latency and communication overheads.

IPv6기반 MANET(Mobile Ad hoc Network)에서 이웃 노드를 찾기 위한 목적으로 ND(Neighbor Discovery) 프로토콜을 사용한다. ND 프로토콜의 경우 메시지 위조, 변조와 같은 취약점이 존재하기 때문에 보안성을 강화한 SEND(SEcure Neighbor Discovery) 프로토콜이 디자인되었다. 본 논문은 MANET에서 두 개의 네트워크가 병합 될 때 발생 할 수 있는 DAD(Duplicated Address Detection) Storm과 경로 상에 악의적 노드가 있는 경우에 발생하는 문제점을 해결하기 위해 SEND를 사용하였으며, 개인키를 가지고 있는 사용자만 서명할 수 있는 제한 사항을 해결하기 위해 위임 서명을 사용하였다.

Because of the limitations of traditional IPv4 address, the adoption of IPv6 has been accelerated. In IPv6 system, each host can obtain the IP address automatically using auto-configuration functionality, which is one of the features of IPv6. However, the auto-configuration functionality can allow a malicious user to get its IPv6 address and access the network without permission, the IP address management functionality becomes more important than IPv4. In this paper, we propose an IPv6 address management system based on IP agents, which protects the unauthorised users from accessing the network and redirects the web access of those users to a specific web page to induce them to access the network after installing the IP agents.
