It divides a secret key into multiple % shares by a cryptographic operation. This technique is useful to % provide a shared secret key to legitimate nodes in a % infrastructure-less mobile ad-hoc network (MANET). As an additional % component, Proactive Secret Sharing (PSS) allows a set of nodes % holding shares to refresh all shares by generating a new set of % shares for the same secret key from the old shares without % reconstructing the secret key. It is necessary to reasonably escape % from threats of exposing the secret key when threshold cryptography % is used. % In this paper, we design the PSS protocol implementation % specification in a MANET environment. In our scheme all share holder % nodes synchronize the PSS procedure in a well-managed fashion to % keep the protocol consistency. We then introduce our actual % implementation and evaluate the behavior and its performance criteria.
