Wireless ad hoc network is a collection of mobile nodes dynamically forming a temporary network without a centralized administration. This kind of network has been applied for both civilian and military purposes. However, security in wireless ad hoc networks is hard to achieve due to the vulnerability of the links, limited physical protection of the nodes, and the absence of a certification authority or centralized management point. Consequently, novel approaches are necessary to address the security problem and to cooperate with the properties of wireless ad hoc network. Similar to other distributed systems, security in wireless ad hoc networks usually relies on the use of different key management mechanisms. The compromise of the node breaks down the whole security system.
