An Efficient and High Scalable Key Distribution Scheme for Mobile Ad Hoc Network through Mining Traffic Meta-data Patterns

Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET ) is a collection of independent wireless mobile nodes, which is deployable on the fly. This work addresses the critical problem of key distribution in MANET by mining the traffic in network layer to extract the meta-data patterns and utilize them as tokens in application layer. A simple, fault-tolerant, and scalable approach with no prerequisite is introduced. It explains how to set up secure sessions among nodes with low communication overhead and simple re-keying.
