Abstract

Security supports are a significant factor in mobile ad hoc networks. Especially in dynamic topologies, considering cluster, key management is essential to provide a secure system. Recently, Li-Liu proposed iD-based multiple key management scheme for cluster-based ad hoc networks. However, we found the security weakness of their scheme. In this paper, we analyze the security of Li-Liu's scheme and show that master secret key and fragment of the master secret key can be revealed to compromised CHs and nodes. Furthermore, we propose a solution to improve the scheme against disclosure of the share key and the master secret key even though system parameters are opened to compromised nodes and modify the Li-Liu's scheme fitted for a scalable networks. The improved IMKM scheme could be usefully applied in dynamic cluster-based MANETs such as the military battlefields, mobile marketplace and VANETs.
