The cryptographic key management system (CKMS) is the cornerstone of building network security. It is more interesting, more difficult, and faces new challenges in wireless and ad-hoc networks than in their wired analogs. In this thesis, our aim is to propose a tool to simulate and evaluate the existing schemes for ad hoc networks by their properties. The evaluation metrics were simulated as well as evaluated to help the network designer choose the best security key management schemes.enWireless Ad hoc networksCryptographic key management systemKey management schemesEvaluation metricsOther
