摘要：

Securing ad hoc networks represents a challenging issue, related to their very characteristics of decentralized architecture, low-complexity, and multiple hops communications. Even if several methods are available, this paper presents a novel approach to allow secret sharing of information at lower levels of the node protocol stack. In fact, secret sharing schemes provide a natural way of addressing security issues in ad hoc networks. To this aim, a flexible framework for secure end-to-end transmission of confidential information is proposed which exploits multipath source routing and hierarchical shares distribution. Such a goal is achieved by designing an ideal, perfect, and eventually verifiable secret sharing scheme based on Birkhoff polynomial interpolation and by establishing suitable hierarchies among independent paths.
