| "Security Framework for Wireless Mobile Ad-hoc Networks" |

|
Security is paramount in wireless mobile ad hoc networks
as they are not conducive to centralized trusted authorities. At present there are
several efforts to secure the communications but they are not designed to evaluate
the trustworthiness of communicating devices. Further, there is no suitable security
framework that integrates a trust model with a secure routing model. My research
thesis focuses on the theory, design, and framework for a secure wireless mobile
ad hoc network. Our comprehensive trust enhanced security framework defines
the integration of a novel obligation-based fellowship and reputation-based
trust models with a secure routing model. Supervisors: Prof. Vijay Varadharajan, Prof. Doan Hoang, Dr. Udaya Kiran Tupakula | |||||||||||||
