Non-repudiation in ad hoc networks

Abstract

With the phenomenal growth of the Internet and open networks in general, security services, such as non-repudiation, become crucial to many applications. In conventional network non-repudiation is achieved using protocols involving TTP. Non-repudiation in conventional network is achieved using different protocols, but in ad hoc networks due to mobility problem we can't use trusted third party (TTP). There is a scope to implement a non-repudiation protocol, which satisfies non-repudiation requirements emerged by the application in a peer-to-peer network. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
