Abstract

Wireless mesh network (WMN) has emerged as a key technology for a numerous number of applications because of its ease of deployment, low cost and flexibility of use. WMN infrastructure is a multihop network where mostly the nodes are static in nature. Preserving identity privacy is an important issue in this type of multihop WMN which has been given a little attention in the research community. Compromising privacy may lead an attacker to reveal user's identity, his profiles and gain information about mobility. In this paper, we present an anonymous authentication scheme between mesh client and mesh router for preserving identity privacy and security in data communication in WMN. We have also shown the security and performance analysis of the proposed scheme.
