Abstract

Ad hoc networks are a promising technology especially from the point of view of its aim: assuring connectivity. But communication cannot be separated from security without loosing a lot of its benefits. That is why research has to focus on security aspects of the ad hoc network too. The paper presents an implementation of a security scheme for ad hoc networks based on identity-based cryptography. This implementation was made in ns2, using MIRACL library to implement identity-based encryption. The solution focuses only on assuring confidentiality, but can be further developed to assure also authentication, integrity and non-repudiation. For the start, an ns2 implementation was developed to provide a simulation environment where different possible scenarios can be tested and the scheme can be improved according to the results, before the real implementation.
