Abstract—This paper presents a secure protocol for spontaneous wireless ad hoc networks which uses an hybrid symmetric/
asymmetric scheme and the trust between users in order to exchange the initial data and to exchange the secret keys that will be used
to encrypt the data. Trust is based on the first visual contact between users. Our proposal is a complete self-configured secure protocol
that is able to create the network and share secure services without any infrastructure. The network allows sharing resources and
offering new services among users in a secure environment. The protocol includes all functions needed to operate without any external
support. We have designed and developed it in devices with limited resources. Network creation stages are detailed and the
communication, protocol messages, and network management are explained. Our proposal has been implemented in order to test the
protocol procedure and performance. Finally, we compare the protocol with other spontaneous ad hoc network protocols in order to
highlight its features and we provide a security analysis of the system.
