Location-Based Protocol for the Pairwise Authentication in the Networks without Infrastructure

Abstract

In this paper, we consider security issues arising in the development of the wireless networks without infrastructure, with the rapidly changing composition of the elements of such a network The LEAP Initial Protection (LEAP-IP) protocol proposed, which closes the vulnerability of the LEAP at the network initialization stage. Advanced LEAP-IP protocol allows to resist attacks on the radio channel, physical attacks on the device, and is energy efficient, that is especially important for devices with a limited power resource. Also, a classification of self-organizing networks and some variants of using the proposed pairwise authentication protocol is presented.
