Does anyone have any experience with securing batman networks (or more to the point the adhoc networks it is based on)? My setup will be a relatively planned infrastructure with all units controlled by myself, so embedding keys etc won't really be an issue.
Can you use WPA2 with adhoc networks? How does this work with wpa_supplicant & hostapd (which are obviously designed for use with access point infrastructure).
When I use the term "security" I am looking at it at several levels:-
1) Stopping rogue units joining the network. 2) Encrypting the traffic to stop eavesdropping. 3) Stopping others from hijacking the connections (either between nodes or via the gateways).
I realise this is a different style from the community mesh network, open to everyone, that Batman appears to have been part of up to now. In Australia bandwidth is so limited (and expensive) that people here are generally not willing to share it, so there is almost no chance of a community arising of its own accord.
