Authentication for multi-located parties and wireless ad hoc networks
by Dantala, Pradeep Kumar, M.S., OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY, 2011, 45 pages; 1500195

Abstract:

This thesis present a new authentication protocol for multi-located parties which uses an agent based scheme that divides the message into two parts together with a key distribution center to ensure stronger authentication. It also presents a protocol for wireless ad hoc networks to combat spamming and reduce traffic overload.

The appropriate number of authentication agents was calculated for a wireless ad hoc network. Simulations were run for networks of 200, 1000, 2000 and 4000 nodes and it was found that 0.075 n (n is the number of nodes in the network) authentication agents work well to distribute the load evenly amongst them.
