Abstract
PKI or public key infrastructure is used many security solutions that are designed for mobile ad hoc networks. These networks have special features that distinguish them from other wired and conventional networks and centralized Certificate Authorities cannot be used for certificate management in these kinds of networks. Thus many efforts have been made to adapt Certificate Authority's (CA) tasks to the dynamic environments of MANETs and distribute the tasks of CA among MANET nodes. In this paper, we study various Certificate management solutions that are proposed in the literature and analyze their advantages and limitations. In addition, we emphasis on certificate revocation and validation issues and compare the overheads of these operations. Finally, we propose the characteristics of an ideal DCA system that can be used to verify the completeness of any DCA Scheme.
