Survey of key management in Mesh based Multicast MANET

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are more vulnerable to security attacks compared to the wired networks mainly because they are wireless and dynamic in topology. So security has become a primary requirement for successful operation. Achievement of key goals like confidentiality, access control, authentication, availability, integrity, and non-repudiation is very crucial. Cryptographic techniques using cryptographic keys are widely used for secure communications. It becomes very crucial to provide secured and efficient key management scheme as well as all the messages should also be secured. A number of key management schemes are proposed in MANET. The computational load and complexity for key management are strongly subject to restriction by the node’s available resources and the dynamic nature of network topology. We hereby present a comprehensive study of various key management techniques available for MANET
