The document explores the challenges of secure multicast communication in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) due to intrinsic characteristics like node mobility and limited resources. It proposes a cluster-based multicast tree (CBMT) algorithm utilizing the Destination-Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) routing protocol to enhance performance on QoS requirements such as end-to-end delay and key delivery ratio under different mobility models. The study emphasizes the importance of effective key management and addresses the impacts of various mobility patterns on secure multicast key distribution in dynamic network environments.
