Abstract

Mobile nodes in some challenging network scenarios suffer from intermittent connectivity and frequent partitions e.g. battlefield and disaster recovery scenarios. Disruption Tolerant Network (DTN) technologies are designed to enable nodes in such environments to communicate with one another. A key feature of DTN technology is the late-binding capability that allows messages destined to a descriptive name to be resolved progressively until the messages are delivered to one or several recipients. In this paper, we describe a flexible security solution that allows messages destined to descriptive names to be sent securely such that unauthorized personnel is not allowed to eavesdrop on them. Our solution builds on the attributed based cryptography system. In addition, we describe our implementation of a late-binding router that supports our security solution. We also present our prototyping experience.

Message routing on potential-fields in forwarding-based DTNs
ICUIMC '09: Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Ubiquitous Information Management and Communication

In delay (or disruption) tolerant networks(DTNs), the physical network is partitioned and the topology changes by node contacts. In most cases, there are no globally synchronized topology information available, which makes routing in DTNs challenging. ...
Data Dissemination in Delay and Disruption Tolerant Networks Based on Content Classification
MSN '09: Proceedings of the 2009 Fifth International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks

Communication networks are traditionally assumed to be connected. However, in delay and disruption tolerant networks(DTN), there are many unconventional difficulties, such as intermittent connectivity, large delay and may never have an end-to-end ...
