Abstract :
Certificate validation in tactical wireless networks and MANETs is a hard problem, due to low bandwidth and frequent disconnections. We suggest a cooperative caching approach with an overlay network of XKMS proxies. The overlay network is discovered and maintained with only marginal increase in the network traffic. This is due to a cross layer design where the XKMS proxies tap into the OLSR routing protocol and utilize the topology information provided by the OLSR path discovery mechanisms.
