In this article, Nicholas Negroponte, founder of the MIT Media Lab
(www.media.mit.edu/), paints a picture of a world with a communications
infrastructure built, organically – by the people, for the people. He
envisions individually-managed wireless hotspots creating overlapping
“lilypads” of connectivity, leading to an open wireless infrastructure.

This article, while now a number of years old, provides a good
introduction to some of the security issues associated with ad hoc
networks, and ways to secure them. The article also explains how ad hoc
networks are different from traditional mobile wireless networks. In
short, “in an ad hoc network, there is no fixed infrastructure such as
