Simulation of Self-Organized Public-Key Management for Ad Hoc Networks

In this paper we addressed the difficult problem of key management in mobile Ad Hoc networks. A self-organized public-key management scheme is proposed that does not rely on any trusted third party, not even in the network initialization phase. To distribute keys to the neighboring nodes we have taken help of inherent properties of DSDV routing algorithm. To exchange the keys of each node with other node in network, by checking the chain appended with entry & based on trust relationship. We also implemented fault handling strategy. New DSDV results are shown with help of X-graph, NS-2. General Terms: Ad-hoc Network Security, Public Management system for Ad Hoc network Key-Words: Ad-hoc Network, DSDV, keymanagement, simulation Ns-2, self-organized.
