Abstract :
To the best of our knowledge, there are only few security schemes for ad hoc networks. In this study, we work on a practical security mechanism for ad hoc networks. To balance both security and performance, we evaluate different encryption/decryption algorithms suitable for ad hoc networks. We extend the 802.1X infrastructure mode security mechanism by adding X.509. We implement and test the prototype system
