Abstract

We present a lightweight network coding based key distribution scheme to secure communications in mobile ad hoc network. Our scheme only needs simple XOR network coding operations and message authentication codes to achieve data confidentiality and guarantee the integrity of the distributed keys, respectively. Security analysis shows the effectiveness of our scheme against eavesdropping and impersonation attacks as well as brute force attacks. The proposed scheme employs a cluster-based hierarchical network topology. Simulation analysis show that for key exchange between two nodes in the same cluster, the scheme achieves more than 95% key delivery ratio with an ignorable average delay of 2 m.s.; for key exchange between nodes in different clusters, 58% key delivery ratio is achieved with around 10 m.s. of average delay.
