Abstract
Security of a network depends on reliable key management systems that generate and distribute keys between communicating parties in network. Due to lack of central server and infrastructure in mobile ad hoc networks, this is a major problem to manage the keys in the network. Dynamically changes in network’s topology causes weak trust relationship among the nodes in the network. In this paper, we proposed a key management scheme for group based mobile ad hoc networks, where a group leader has responsibility of key management in its group. Proposed key management scheme is a decentralized scheme that does not require any Trusted Third Party (TTP) for key management. Proposed key management system authenticates new node before joining the network and update the keys when a node left the network.
