SEAMAN: A Security-Enabled Anonymous MANET Protocol for Tactical Communications

The SEAMAN protocol is designed to enhance security and anonymity in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) for various applications, including military operations and emergency response. It ensures external anonymity, message integrity, and node identity concealment while facilitating efficient multicast routing and distributed key management. Key features include self-configuration, fast deployment, and resilience against various attacks such as eavesdropping and replay attacks. Future developments will focus on practical implementation and integration with advanced routing and authentication systems.

  1. SEAMAN: A Security-EnabledAnonymous MANET Protocol Harald H.-J. Bongartz, Tobias Ginzler, Thomas Bachran {bongartz,ginzler,bachran}@fgan.de Pere Tuset tuspeipe@eupmt.upc.edu

  2. Problem Statement (1/2) - Scenarios Communicationwithin group ofvehicles • Tactical military operations • Police and emergency response operations • Multi-robot systems in military and civilian emergency scenarios Communicationof foot soldiers Data exchange in multi-robot system or sensor network Command postnetwork Source: DRDC Valcartier, Canada

  3. Problem Statement (2/2) • Requirements • Data transmission over wireless medium (radio) • No infrastructure available • Fast deployment • Self-configuring • ”Self-healing” • Assumptions • Mobile Ad hoc Network • Platoon size (approx. 50 participants) • Continuous operation during deployment (sufficient power supply)

  4. Security Requirements Our concern: External (non-authenticated) eavesdroppers/attackers! • High confidentiality • Secrecy of message contents • Anonymity of node identities • Message and Network integrity • of payload data • of network management data • Resilience against various attacks • General reconnaissance • Identification of conspicuous nodes • Replay attacks

  5. SEAMAN Concept Security Enabled Anonymous MANET Protocol = Full External Anonymity + Link Layer Encryption and Integrity + Efficient Multicast MANET Routing + Distributed Key Management

  6. Network Topology Operations • Node Join • Node Leave • Forced Node Eject Group Merge Group Split

  7. Group Merge / Node Join

  8. Authentication Sequence • Anonymous Authentication using • Perfect Pseudonyms and • Group-identifiable Pseudonyms • Result: • Temporary Bridge Key • Used until common MANET key established

  9. Group-identifiable Pseudonyms • Node identity hidden • Public keys signed by Certification Authority (CA) • Pseudonym revocation by publication of Sym(A)

  20. Other Network Topology Operations • Group Split / Node Leave • Through automatic Key Update • Forced Node Eject • Goal: exclude compromised nodes • Revoke GiP Symmetric Key • Update MANET Key

  21. Conclusion and Future Work • Conclusion • SEAMAN Framework for mobile ad hoc network security • Against external attackers in mission-critical MANETs • Secrecy, Integrity, Anonymity • Future Work • Implementation • WNet for MANET Routing • MIKE for Key Management • MASK for Anonymous Authentication • Tests in simulation and testbed • Integration of Intrusion Detection System
