Abstract

Communicating nodes in an ad-hoc network cannot rely on a fixed security infrastructure and cannot assume a specific security mechanism in the network. This requires careful consideration for the security architecture they apply. In this paper, we propose SAHNet, a data communication system for end-to-end security independent of the security enforced in the network. The system considers the device and the user together as a single identity, and provides user complete control over all connections established using his device, irrespective of the security used in the underlying network. This allows securely communicating nodes to coexist in a network with devices using non-secure mode of communication, facilitating incremental acceptance of this system.
