This situation is of potential security concern % since the neighbor nodes cannot be always trusted. % In this paper, we design a group member authentication protocol used % in a MANET. It aims to allow a set of nodes to legitimately % participate in group communication and then distribute a secret % group key to the approved nodes to establish secure communication % with group members. Our protocol provides knowledge-based group % member authentication, which recognizes a list of secret group keys % held in a mobile node as the node's group membership. It employs % Zero Knowledge Proof and threshold cryptography. We then introduce % our actual implementation and evaluate the behavior to ensure its % successful deployment.
