Practical Identity-Based authentication protocol for ad-hoc networks

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an Identity-Based encryption (IBE) scheme and corresponding signature scheme with the feature of transmission route assurance. And then, we put forward a reforming method to make them more efficient and lightweight with the end-to-end feature, encouraging a broader range of application in ad-hoc networks. Based on these schemes, we present a new identity-based authentication protocol for ad-hoc networks. Through analysis and contrast, we show the fulfillment and feasibility of our protocol with respect to the security and efficiency goals.
