Abstract

This paper is about studying on a user authentication using EAP for mobile ad hoc networks. In military ad hoc networks and public commercial ad hoc network, the illegal user must be prevented from having unauthorized access. For this, in this paper we define the master node for an authentication server, and propose how the other nodes acquire authentication from it. And this paper deploys how the previously authenticated node operates as an agent of the master node and the node which shifts location acquires an authentication through an query procedure of the neighbor node.
