Abstract :
Our contribution in this paper is twofold: we first analyze the requirements of a secure distributed authentication system for MANETs, and then survey some of the existing certificate-based authentication mechanisms, by analyzing their features, including pros and cons, in the context of distributed authentication. Finally, a series of scenario-based simulation experiments and metrics are proposed to evaluate these features.
