| Abstract | A wireless mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a temporary network, without the use of fixed infrastructure. Zero setup cost and dynamic topology of MANET makes it an attractive choice for group-oriented applications. But many limitations such as lack of infrastructure, less bandwidth and memory, wireless link, noise, etc. in mobile ad hoc networks impede the usual deployment of traditional security infrastructure. Moreover, according to the characteristics of transiently associated network, security incident in MANET mainly binds to group communication. To address these problems, in this thesis, we have designed a protocol for secure group communication in MANET. Our protocol feasibly works in a server-less environment and provides a distributed lightweight authentication mechanism for instantaneous deployment. Its core technique consists of zero knowledge proof and threshold cryptography |
