A secure interaction among nodes from different MANET groups using 4G technologies

The research in mobile ad hoc networks has been gaining ground for its ease of random deployment. There might be more than a single MANET group around, operating independently. The mobility factor cannot restrict the nodes to a single location or a MANET group that aggravates the authentication issues. The authentication of nodes among different MANET groups is not trivial when considered in a broad global scenario and has to withstand the same key management problems as in a single MANET group. In proposed model the scope of the scheme has been extended beyond a single MANET group. The model highlights the role of 4G for secure interaction of nodes from different MANET groups. The modes of interaction and authentication among nodes from different groups, identified or unidentified, has been defined and analyzed.
