Dynamic address assignment is one of the most important
features in wireless ad hoc networks if nodes should be
enabled to join and to work in the network by
automatically configuring all necessary settings. Different
approaches have been developed throughout the last years
to achieve this objective of Dynamic Address
Autoconfiguration but research primarily focused on
efficiency and correctness, less on security issues.
Whereas Duplicate Address Detection has become reliable
in commonplace scenarios, it is still relatively easy to
suspend the whole network functionality in extraordinary
situations within the boundaries of a Dynamic Address
Configuration Protocol. In this paper, we therefore want to
point out shortcomings and weaknesses in existing
protocol solutions which address dynamic IP address
assignment. We concentrate on a leader-based approach
called ODACP and want to propose several solutions
which improve the original protocol in such a way that it
is safer against malicious host activities. Finally, we will
demonstrate the improvements of our solution in a
separate test scenario.
