ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented method for generating a hierarchical set of certifiers nodes for a public key infrastructure within an ad-hoc network. The method includes determining at least one potential certifier node that is eligible to become certifier nodes from a set of nodes in an ad-hoc network, creating a new certifier node from the at least one potential certifier node based on a selection criteria, and creating a parent-child relationship with the new certifier node.
