“…Shams Qazi et al [4] have proposed a cross-layer secure protocol for routing, data exchange and ARP problems (in case of LAN based upon WMNs). This is a Ticket-based Adhoc On demand Distance Vector (TAODV) protocol, a secure routing protocol that is based on the design of Ad hoc On demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol.…”

In Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN), an authentication technique can be compromised due to the distributed network architecture, the broadcast nature of the wireless medium and dynamic network topology. Several vulnerabilities exist in different protocols for WMNs. Hence, in this paper, we propose trust based authentication and key establishment for secure routing in WMN. Initially, a trust model is designed based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) to exchange the trust information among the nodes. The routing table is utilized to select the destination nodes, for which the link information is updated and the route verification is performed. Based on the trust model, mutual authentication is applied. When a node moves from one operator to another for accessing the router, inter-authentication will be performed. When a node moves within the operator for accessing the router, then intraauthentication will be performed. During authentication, keys are established using identity based cryptography technique. By simulation results, we show that the proposed technique enhances the packet delivery ratio and resilience with reduced drop and overhead.

Wireless Mesh Networks are considered as a promising solution for offering low‐cost access to broadband services. However, one of the main challenges in the design of these networks is their vulnerability to security attacks. In this paper, we analyze the fundamental security challenges and constraints of these networks, classify several possible attacks, and survey several intrusion prevention, detection, and response mechanisms found in the literature.

“…Handoff authentication is expected to be more efficient, as the mesh client has been authenticated during login authentication. A number of protocols have been proposed to reduce the latency on (handoff) authentication in wireless networks. These authentication protocols can be classified into three categories : multi‐hop authentication, pro‐active authentication and ticket‐based authentication.…”

“…Because the authentication server may be many hops away from the client, it would result in long latency and service interruptions. Both pro‐active authentication protocols and ticket‐based authentication protocols follow the single sign‐on principle and exploit the advantages of key pre‐distribution, to minimize the latency caused by handover authentication.…”

SUMMARYTicket-based authentication is a critical technology to secure wireless mesh networks (WMN), which enable efficient communication among laptops, cell phones and other wireless devices. In this paper, we provide a new design of handoff authentication for WMN to reduce the delay caused by handoff. Our major improvement is on the key pre-distribution for handoff authentication. We apply the attribute-based encryption to encrypt key pre-distribution messages for neighbor mesh routers. As a result, key pre-distribution has constant computation and communication costs, which are independent of the number of neighbor mesh routers. Another advantage of our design is that it can perform immediate handoff authentication once the login authentication is complete, even before key pre-distribution messages reach the foreign mesh router. The security of our handoff authenticator protocol is also improved by employing home mesh router's digital signature in the handoff ticket and key pre-distribution messages. Our scheme can efficiently thwart forgery attacks. The proposed scheme provides an efficient and secure solution that meets the requirements of WMN in the era of Big Data.
