基于移动Ad Hoc网络的分布式RSA密钥生成机制

Distributed Generation of Shared RSA Keys in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

移动AdHoc网络(MANET)是一种具有全新概念的无线网络,不依赖于任何固定物理基础设施和集中式组织管理机构,通过无线信道实现移动节点之间的通信。然而AdHoc网络的固有特性使其更易遭受各种安全威胁,在基于分布式PKI/CA体制的安全解决方案中如何生成和分发CA密钥将是一个具有挑战性的问题。对现有的几种方案进行了分析讨论,指出了其中存在的问题,并就此提出了一种基于门限RSA密码体制的分布式CA密钥共享生成机制,提高了系统的安全性和鲁棒性。

Mobile Ad hoc NETworks(MANET) is a totally new concept in which mobile nodes are able to communicate together over wireless links in an independent manner,without needing any fixed physical infrastructure and centralized organizational/administrative infrastructure.However,the nature of ad hoc networks makes them very vulnerable to security threats.Generation and distribution of shared keys for CA(Certification Authority)is challenging in security solution based on distributed PKI/CA.Those solutions that have been proposed in the literature and some issues are discussed.This paper propose the solution of distributed generation of shared CA keys based on threshold RSA cryptosystems,with which the security and robustness of system is enhanced.
