Abstract

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) lacks enforcement of policy-based access control mechanism to restrict unauthorized accesses on the network resources. Policy-based security infrastructure in MANET is more complex than traditional network due to uncontrolled media access and absence of network perimeters. As access control needs to be applied in a distributed manner, considering the mobility of nodes, traditional security technologies like firewall, IDS etc. cannot fit for MANET. So, to ensure security, distribution and enforcement of the policy rules over different nodes in MANET are the major research challenges. This work proposes a distributed policy-based access control framework for MANET.
