Hey Stas,

* Are there scientific papers about projects or ideas which involve
commotionwireless (as for the mesh building)?

As of right now there are no scientific papers that are ON commotion. 
But, there are many on the ideas and concepts that compose commotion. 
The first thing I would do it go to code.commotionwireless.net and 
check out the development notes section of the main commotion wireless 
project wiki. We throw a bunch of links and references to papers under 
various topics there.  You will want to search for byzantine style 
distributed networks for academic papers on the type of network 
Commotion is creating.

Keep in touch as you work on what exactly your focus is. I have a 
plethora of academic papers referenced in various files and folders.  
If you need any help refining your topic, finding the terms used by 
various fields, or tracking down quality research shoot me an e-mail. I 
have been collecting academic articles on our topics for quite a while.

* Does commotionwireless support secure routing or other secure 
mechanisms?

As of right now the two mechanisms we have implemented are WPA None and 
AuthSAE. Of course this upcoming 6 months to a year is when that will 
be changing quite a bit hopefully.

Let me know if you have any questions. Also, I would love if you would 
send me any interesting or informative articles you find as you do your 
research. I am always looking to find good resources.
