Abstract

Personal Network (PN) is an emerging concept which combines pervasive computing and strong user focus. The idea is that the user's personal devices organise themselves in a secure and private personal network transparently of their geographical location. This paper studies a PN architecture where devices form clusters using shared key cryptography over short range radio links (or a local area network) and where the otherwise isolated clusters are interconnected over the IP infrastructure using dynamic tunnelling. True self-organisation of the PN requires establishing distributed consensus via a voting algorithm. Remarks on the linkage between the different voting algorithms and the ad hoc routing schemes are provided.
