Abstract
In this paper, we propose a secure key establishment protocol, called UGSP, for wireless ad-hoc networks using tamper proof hardware (TPH). UGSP results in creating a secure communication channel between two nodes without any third party involvement and hence is suitable for ad-hoc networks. UGSP is robust to man-in-the-middle attack, passive eavesdropping, active impersonation attacks ensuring source authentication, data confidentiality and data integrity for communication. The system is amenable to dynamic addition of new members. A comparative evaluation of UGSP with other approaches along with issues of scalability and cost-effectiveness are discussed.
The work was done under the Futuristics Technologies: Computer and Network sponsored by Ministry of Information Technology, New Delhi, India. The authors thank Prof A. Perrig (CMU) for many suggestions.
