Abstract

An ad hoc network is formed in haphazard manner. It has many different features from the conventional networks. So the security services applied to the traditional networks are not suitable for the ad hoc networks. In this paper, we will analyze some classical proposals for ad hoc network security and make a comparison on them. From which, we can have a brief idea of the existing circumstances. On the basis of that, we provided two models. Each of those models improves some performance compared to the original.
