A fundamental issue of securing mobile ad-hoc networks is to ensure mobile nodes can authenticate each other. Because of its strength and efficiency, public key and digital signature is an ideal building block to construct the authentication service. Although this is already mature in the Internet applications, providing public key based authentication is still very challenging in mobile ad-hoc networks because the entire network is world-accessible via wireless channel, the environment is highly volatile and infrastructure-less and there is lack of trust in the system. This paper proposes a locality driven key management architecture that achieves robust key authentication and facilitates timely and efficient establishment of distributed trust.
