A Simple SNMP Authentication Method for Ad-hoc Networks

In these days, there are many attempts for convergence with several types of networks. Jang proposed a new initial setup in SNMPv3 to enhance the secure network operation suitable for sensor networks. This model requires more time at initial step than previous models. For mobile ad-hoc networks where connections are established dynamically, simplification of initial step is needed. Therefore, we propose a simple authentication model for ad-hoc network.
