  Abstract

In order to protect an exchanged data, it is indispensable to establish a peer-to-peer key between the two communicating nodes. Pre-distributing keys among the nodes is unrealistic in Ad-Hoc network environment because of the dynamic nature of its network topology and the equal authority of its nodes. This paper presents a peer-to-peer key establishment scheme without pre-distributing keys in Ad-Hoc networks. The proposed scheme is based on the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol. Main idea is to prevent the falsification of Diffie-Hellman values using some elements of a hash chain. As a result, it is as safe as the underlying hash function against a man-in-the-middle attack. Simulation results have shown that the proposed scheme dramatically reduces the number of messages, and has relatively higher scalability, as compared with the key pre-distribution based scheme.
