Abstract

In this paper, we study a simple scheme that can effectively deal with merging different adjacent clusters in ad-hoc networks. When nodes of each cluster have already agreed on their own group keys and intend to merge themselves for further secure communications, our scheme can be used in an efficient and secure way.
