This document summarizes a key management protocol for ad hoc networks. It discusses: 1) Ad hoc networks have no infrastructure and are decentralized, with all nodes as peers. 2) Key challenges include implementing network services and security without a centralized authority. 3) The presented NSAUKDP protocol uses 5 phases - initialization, route request, key setup, authentication, and communication - to securely distribute symmetric keys between nodes to enable encrypted communication.
