Securing Mobile Ad hoc Networks:Key Management and Routing
Kamal Kumar Chauhan, Amit Kumar Singh Sanger

TL;DR
This paper introduces a decentralized key management scheme and a secure routing protocol for MANETs, enhancing security by enabling mutual authentication and message integrity without relying on a central authority.
Contribution
It proposes a novel decentralized key management system with group leaders and a secure routing protocol that detects malicious nodes in MANETs.
Findings
Effective mutual authentication between nodes and group leaders.
Secure routing protocol detects malicious nodes in the network.
No need for Trusted Third Party in key management.
Abstract
Secure communication between two nodes in a network depends on reliable key management systems that generate and distribute keys between communicating nodes and a secure routing protocol that establishes a route between them. But due to lack of central server and infrastructure in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs), this is major problem to manage the keys in the network. Dynamically changes in network's topology causes weak trust relationship among the nodes in the network. In MANETs a mobile node operates as not only end terminal but also as an intermediate router. Therefore, a multi-hop scenario occurs for communication in MANETs; where there may be one or more malicious nodes in between source and destination. A routing protocol is said to be secure that detects the detrimental effects of malicious node(s in the path from source to destination). In this paper, we proposed a key…
