Low-power ad hoc networks with no pre-deployment information require the less authoritative security in recognition. We have studied previously proposed low-power protocols according to the environment and security model presented. We have implemented the New Message Recognition Protocol (NMRP) and Zero Common Knowledge (ZCK) protocol in C and matlab. From our comparison between NMRP and ZCK, we observed that NMRP satisfied the properties of low power environment. %K Ad hoc Networks %K Security %K Authentication %K Low-Power %K Recognition. %U http://airccse.org/journal/ijcses/papers/3212ijcses02.pdf
