IDENTITY BASED PUBLIC KEY EXCHANGE (IDPKE) FOR WIRELESS AD HOC NETWORKS

Abstract

In this paper a novel identity based public key exchange (IDPKE) protocol is proposed for wireless ad hoc networks, where the network node IDs are used as public keys. Previous research into ID based key management schemes assumes that node IDs are well known and have been distributed amongst the nodes at the time of network formation. However, this assumption limits the application of these schemes to many ad hoc networking scenarios. Our proposed IDPKE protocol addresses this disadvantage. It assumes that node IDs are not known prior to network formation and provides secure and authentic ID exchange between nodes, thus allowing employment in a wider range of applications. The IDPKE protocol is an extension to an existing certificate based scheme and it provides an increase in security and a reduction in computation and bandwidth by comparison.
