ONSA: One novel security architect ure for Wireless Mesh Networks
Longjun Zhang, Tianhai Ou, Xiaoyuan Yang · 2010
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are an emerging technology for last-mle broadbandaccess. At first, the paper analyzed the unique securityrequirements of WMNs, network model and trust model. Then propose ONSA. Different from conventional cellular-like solution, ONSA eliminates the need for establishing service level agreement (SLA) among numerous WMN operators and the need for changing existing network operating mode. In contrast to previous scheme, without introducing the brokers, users no longer need to believe in brokers, but just partially believe in the mesh-domain operators. Use rs acquire pass from the operator to realize seamless roaming across WMN. ONSA supports efficient mutual authentication and efficient key agreement both between a user and a serving WMN domain and between users served by the same WMN domain as well.
