Abstract
This document outlines the end-to-end protocol between the various entities in the tetherless computing architecture (TCA), which together allow secure communication in complex environments, while achieving the requirements listed above. The main agents in this protocol are the mobile endpoint, the access-point interface, mobile contacts, DHT nodes, i3 servers, and DTN nodes. 2.Acronyms APS (Access-point Server ) This server runs at the access-point. It provides an authentification service controls access of the network by mobile endpoints. It also maintains a list of local DTN nodes and/or i3 servers that it propagates to connecting endpoints. CM (Connection Manager) This module runs on the mobile endpoint, and handles many functions related the connected state of that endpoint and its location. DTN (Delay Tolerant Networking) An infrastructure which allows for robust, asynchronous messaging between endpoints in a delay-prone networking environment [2]. DHT (Distributed Hash Table) A decentralized mechanism for associating keys with values and allowing remotely-initiated queries [4]. DHT-AM (DHT Addressing Manager) This module acts as an interface between DTN and the DHT. Specifically, it resolves an address for the DTN layer by querying the DHT. DTN-MM (DTN Mobility Manager) This module deals with inserting keys into the i3 overlay and ensuring that bundles are transferred from the incumbent custody DTN node. i3 (Internet Indirection Infrastructure) An infrastructure that provides mobile transparency for communicating endpoints in the Internet [3]. IDM ( Identity Manager) This module runs on the mobile endpoint. It communicates with the APS to provide secure access to networks. CL (Client Library) This library will provide application-level functionality. For example,...
