Abstract:

In order to solve the problem that the existing authentication method can’t track the vulnerable of malicious nodes and depends on the centralized authentication center,based on the de-centralization,tamper-proof and traceable characteristics of blockchain technology,a distributed lightweight mobile Ad Hoc network authentication scheme was proposed.It included the establishment of peer-to-peer network,the design of certification ledger and the choice of consensus mechanism.Then the role of smart contracts was analyzed and discussed.In this scenario,when the maximum transmission delay τmax between a pair of peers is given,the relationship between node authentication timeδand network size N t all is satisfied with ( N t all 3 +7 ) τ max δ3( N t all +1) τ max .

Key words: mobile Ad Hoc network, blockchain, authentication, P2P network, ledger, consensus mechanism
