Two-phase security framework for network layer communication in Ad Hoc clouds

Abstract

An ad hoc cloud computing environment on the infrastructure point of view is formed by consuming resources from existing occasionally available computing setups that are primarily used for some other purposes, for example, personal computers, mobile phones and such similar devices connected to the internet. In this paper, we propose a mechanism to secure the network layer communications particularity routing and data packet forwarding in ad hoc cloud environment. The paper details the proposed scheme and analyses its robustness on the security perspective.
