Towards Securing Disruption-Tolerant Networking
Overview Most of the existing Internet applications are built on the assumption of immediate end-to-end connectivity. However, there are many scenarios, like messaging in sparsely populated areas, in which immediate connectivity is not available. Recently, the use of identity-based cryptography has been proposed as one way to help solve some of the security issues in Disruption-Tolerant Networks (DTNs). This paper discusses the security issues of DTNs, survey proposed solutions, and identify some improvements. This paper considers the applicability of identity-based cryptography as a solution for delay tolerant networking security, investigate how security in DTNs can be bootstrapped from existing large-scale security infrastructures, like the cellular communication security infrastructure, and present an improved scheme for authentication of fragments.
