In battlefield communication systems, ground soldiers, tanks, and unmanned aerial vehicles comprise a heterogeneous MANET. In 2006, Byun et al. proposed the first constant-round password-based group key ex- change with different passwords for such net- works. In 2008, Nam et al. discovered the short- comings of the scheme, and modified it. But the works only provide the group key. In this paper, we propose a password-based secure communication scheme for the loT, which could be applied in the battlefield communication systems and support dy- namic group, in which the nodes join or leave. By performing the scheme, the nodes in the heteroge- neous MANET can realize secure broadcast, secure unicast, and secure direct communication across realms. After the analyses, we demonstrate that the scheme is secure and efficient.展开更多
