Dissertation on Security in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks

On this page I try to compile some material on the project that my dissertation thesis was about. It was the aim of the SAM project (Security Architecture for MANETs) to establish a generic security framework usable for most MANET routing protocols that will prevent (or at least leverage the impact of) attacks by malicious nodes inside the MANET.

My PhD Thesis (in German) on Security in Ad hoc Networks

• Sicherheit in Mobilen Ad hoc Netzwerken (3.5 MB)

Unfortunately, I never found the time to translate it to english, so it is only available in German. Check my publications page for some publications that sum up the content.

MANET links (many old and outdated):

• MANET IETF WG
• MANET Page at Navy RL (a little bit outdated)
• Manet Page RWTH Aachen

Simulation of MANETs:

• JiST / SWANS
• ns-2
• GloMoSim
• OPNET Modeler
• OMNET++
• Qualnet
• JNS / Javis
