Abstract

Securing a multicast architecture is a basic procedure in order to avoid attacks and guarantee the communication integrity and confidentiality. This becomes more vital when dealing with ad hoc network. The lack of physical and administrative infrastructure and the dynamic topology, make the ad-hoc network more arduous to be secured. In this paper, we propose a key management protocol to secure ad-hoc network. Our proposal relies on the routing mechanism.
