Frank Kargl's Homepage

On this page I try to compile some stuff regarding Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) and esp. security in MANETs. It is the aim of our SAM project to establish a generic security framework usable for most MANET routing protocols that will prevent (or at least leverage the impact of) attacks by malicious nodes inside the MANET.

Some diploma theses on this subject (in German):

• Identification in MANETs (Raimund Specht)
• Mobile Intrusion Detection in MANETs (Andreas Klenk)
• Sicheres Routing in Mobilen Ad hoc Netzwerken (Alfred Geiss)
• Unterstützung von Pseudonymen für Mobile Ad hoc Netzwerke (Joachim Karrer)

My PhD Thesis (in German) on Security in Ad hoc Networks

• Sicherheit in Mobilen Ad hoc Netzwerken (3.5 MB)

Unfortunately, I never found the time to translate it to english, so it is only available in German. Check the publications page for some publications that sum up the content.
