    abstract = {This study proposes a novel Anonymous and Certificateless Public-Key Infrastructure (AC-PKI) for
MANETs. Our contributions are mainly three fold. First, we apply Shamir’s secret-sharing technique to
distribute the system trust, essentially a system master-key, across apre-selected set of nodes called Distributed
Private-Key Generators (D-PKGs). The D-PKGs collaboratively offer a Prerequisite private-Key-Generation
(PKG) service during network operation. Second, we propose offering D-PKGs anonymity protection to defend
against pinpoint attacks that are quite easy to conduct and may cause devastating consequencesin MANETs.
Last, we determine the optimal secret-sharing parameters for achieving the maximum security.}
