APEC — An authentication protocol with embedded certificates

The APEC (Authentication Protocol with Embedded Certificates) is a wireless ad hoc network authentication protocol that employs a time-slots/frequency two-tuple for the validation of trusted nodes in a secure ad hoc network. APEC is derived from a canonical, time-space (frequency channel) splitting over which information (data packets) propagates under the constraint of a collision-avoidance protocol. In this paper, we analyze several authentication attack scenarios and discuss their properties under APEC.
