Popis: The anonymous mechanism of existing anonymous routing protocols in ad hoc networks significantly degraded their routing performances. To resolve the problem, this paper proposes a hierarchical pseudonym-based signature scheme and a self-generated pseudonym system based on the former. The signature scheme can be easily used to construct pseudonym system and non-interactively update private decryption keys. The self-generated pseudonym system features with following eminent characteristics: a node creates legal pseudonyms itself without participation of organization management center; there is unique pseudonym to be generated during the same period; the pseudonyms cannot be used up; nodes can independently authenticate each other with attaching less bytes than zero-knowledge protocol in classical pseudonym systems.
