Implementation of Security Mechanism for Adhoc Wireless Networks Based on X.509 and IEEE 802.1X

To the best of our knowledge, there are only few security schemes for Adhoc networks [1]. In this study, we work on a practical security mechanism for Adhoc networks. To balance both security and performance, we evaluate different Encryption/Decryption Algorithms suitable for Adhoc networks. We extend the 802.1X Infrastructure mode security mechanism by adding X.509. We implement and test the prototype system.
