A SERVICE DISCOVERY THREAT MODEL FOR AD HOC NETWORKS

Abstract

The dynamic yet vulnerable nature of an hoc network presents many new security and privacy challenges. Securing the process of service discovery is one of them. Novel solutions are therefore required. However, in order for appropriate security measures to be devised, all possible security threats must first be identified and thoroughly analysed. In this paper, we present a threat model for service discovery in ad hoc networks. Based on these threats, we proceed to derive the security services required to achieve secure service discovery.
