Attacks Against OLSR : Distributed Key Management for Security

In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), mobile nodes use wireless devices to create spontaneously a larger network, larger than radio range, in which communication with each other is made possible by the means of routing. One routing protocol for such MANET networks is OLSR, on which this article focuses. We examine the security issues, and describe an architecture including multiple securing mechanisms. The attacks prevented by this architecture, along with details about protocols, algorithms, mechanisms and implementation details are given.
