Popis: Security is one of the main challenges in Ad HocMobile Networks (MANETs - Mobile Ad Hoc Networks). Thenatural characteristics of MANETs make these networks highlyvulnerable to many attacks, starting from physical layer to theapplication layer. There are various algorithms and protocolsto deal with these threats. All these algorithms have a commonelement: the use of encryption. Among the cryptographic systemsfound in the literature, those based on identity seem to be betteradapt to the paradigm of MANETs. Its main advantages arethe low computational cost and reduced overhead. This workpresents an evaluation of the main identity-based cryptographicschematic for the MANETs, Identity Key Management (IKM). The evaluation was performed considering the renewal andrevocation of keys and the presence of attacks of false accusation. The results show that the IKM is vulnerable to this attack andthe partitioning of the network may lead you to an unstable state.
