Abstract
Different protocols have been developed throughout the last years to achieve automatic IP address allocation in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). However, Autoconfiguration security issues are still an open problem. In this paper, a new secure and robust IP Address allocation protocol for standalone MANETs inspired from MANETconf and named TCSAP is specified and evaluated within NS2. The proposed solution is efficient and thwarts all possible attacks associated with dynamic IP address assignment in MANETs.
