Cryptography is one of basis of security solutions for mobile ad hoc networks. Among public key techniques, the identity-based ones are very attractive for mobile environment, mainly due to their simple key management process and reduced memory storage cost. In this paper we give an overview about existing Identity Based Key Management Schemes for MANET. We point out some problems of Identity-based key management schemes in MANETs, which are not addressed and we will explore in the future.
