3
What is the Serval Project? Serval Project : Not for Profit research group that is part of Flinders University. Serval Mesh Software: a Software that uses Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) to provide communications without infrastructure for emergencies & disasters.
4
Security & WMN: What is the Issue? The Serval Project is based on Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) technology. The main objective of this Research project is to assess the security framework of Serval Mesh Software.
5
The Security Framework of Serval Mesh Software. It has not been assessed yet. The issues of encryption in the earliest releases of the Serval Project. The initial release has no encryption. The recent releases is using Elliptic Curve encryption. The current version Serval Mesh Software does not have any authentication measures. The next releases are intended to have authentication measures.
