Securing End-to-End Wireless Mesh Networks Ticket-Based Authentication.

Abstract

Hybrid wireless mesh network (WMN) consists of two types of nodes: Mesh Routers which are relatively static and energy-rich devices, and Mesh Clients which are relatively dynamic and power constrained devices. In this paper we present a new model for WMN end-to-end security which divide authentication process into two phases: Mesh Access Point phase which based on asymmetric cryptography and Mesh Client phase which based on a server-side certificate such as EAP-TTLS and PEAP.
