Description
Summary: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 τ<sub>max</sub> between a pair of peers is given,the relationship between node authentication timeδand network size <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <msubsup> <mi>N</mi> <mi>t</mi> <mrow> <mtext>all</mtext></mrow> </msubsup></math></inline-formula>is satisfied with<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mrow><mo>(</mo> <mrow> <mfrac> <mrow> <msubsup> <mi>N</mi> <mi>t</mi> <mrow> <mtext>all</mtext></mrow> </msubsup> </mrow> <mn>3</mn> </mfrac> <mo>+</mo><mn>7</mn></mrow> <mo>)</mo></mrow><msub> <mi>τ</mi> <mrow> <mtext>max</mtext></mrow> </msub> <mo>≤</mo><mi>δ</mi><mo>≤</mo><mn>3</mn><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><msubsup> <mi>N</mi> <mi>t</mi> <mrow> <mtext>all</mtext></mrow> </msubsup> <mo>+</mo><mn>1</mn><mo stretchy="false">)</mo><msub> <mi>τ</mi> <mrow> <mtext>max</mtext></mrow> </msub></math></inline-formula> .
