Abstract

In this paper implementation of Kerberos is proposed for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETS) for user authentication and authorization. Kerberos uses symmetric cryptography with a trusted server to enable secure authentication and key exchange between client nodes. Kerberos protocol is designed to provide reliable authentication over open and insecure networks where communications between the hosts belonging to it may be intercepted. So simply Kerberos is an authentication protocol for trusted hosts on untrusted networks. There are two approaches used in MANETS: proactive approach & reactive approach. In proactive approach protocols are also known as traditional distributed shortest-path protocols which are used to maintain the routes at all times based on periodic updates with high routing overhead. We have implemented Kerberos concept with proactive approach using Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR).
