Energy Efficient Recognition Protocol for Ad Hoc Networks

The recognition is a new security principle closely related to authentication. 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.
