Abstract

Secure mobile wireless ad-hoc networks are frequentlydescribed in the technical literature as highly-desired andfeasible. However only few stable and scalable physicalrealizations of such MANETs were actually reported. Inthis paper, we describe SWAT (a secure wireless agent-basedtestbed), a physical network of handheld and stationarycomputing nodes that provide a practical industrial-strengthMANET based on IEEE standard 802.11b andagent technology. The system, using HP iPAQ units andtablet PCs, implements secure group-based applicationsand allows for real-time user revocation. It integrates algorithmsand techniques from several proposed software libraries,including CLIQUES, Spread and Secure Spread,SEM, IPSec, and EMAA.
