TL;DR: This paper proposes EPIC, a method based on reverse-disclosure hash chains to support the establishment of path-independent capabilities and shows how they can be efficiently maintained in a high mobility environment.
Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the issues that arise in the use of network capabilities to facilitate DoS prevention and mitigation in mobile ad hoc networks. Most proposals for capability-based protocols in wired networks depend upon routers on the path between the sender and receiver maintaining state that enables them to verify a capability. Frequent route changes make it necessary for any capability-based protocol for MANETs to re-establish this state as efficiently as possible. We propose EPIC, a method based on reverse-disclosure hash chains to support the establishment of path-independent capabilities and show how they can be efficiently maintained in a high mobility environment. Simulation results show that EPIC provides a 25.9% increase in performance and a 38.3% increase in efficiency over route-dependent capabilities.
