Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is emerging as an attractive public-key cryptosystem for mobile/wireless environments. Compared to traditional cryptosystems like RSA, ECC offers equivalent security with smaller key sizes, which results in faster ...

As WEP has been shown to be vulnerable to multiple attacks, a huge effort has been placed on specifying an access control mechanism to be used in wireless installations. However, properties of the wireless environment have been exploited to perform ...

In this paper we survey issues and challenges in enhancing the survivability of mobile wireless networks, with particular emphasis on military requirements*. Research focus on three key aspects can significantly enhance network survivability: (i) ...

An ad hoc wireless network is an autonomous self-organizing system ofmobile nodes connected by wireless links where nodes not in directrange can communicate via intermediate nodes. A common technique usedin routing protocols for ad hoc wireless networks ...

We consider the problem of incorporating security mechanisms into routing protocols for ad hoc networks. Canned security solutions like IPSec are not applicable. We look at AODV[21] in detail and develop a security mechanism to protect its routing ...
