            Abstract : 
We first review and compare private key distributions in MANETs based on secret sharing schemes. Since there exist many kinds of networks with different objectives and constraints, we then determine the suitable private key distribution scheme according to the nature of the network. We also stress that identity-based cryptography represents a valuable security solution as it provides many interesting features for MANETs.
