Wireless mesh networks are fast becoming the preferred way to deliver voice, video and data in outdoor environments. A wireless mesh can deliver the same net-work capacity, reliability and security that were once re-served for wired networks - but with the flexibility of wire-less. With today's state-of-the-art solutions, municipalities, public safety agencies, port authorities, and industrial or-ganizations can rely on mesh networks to provide essential connectivity to their workers and constituents. However, many technical issues still exist in this field. In order to pro-vide a better understanding of the research challenges of WMNs, this article presents a detailed investigation of cur-rent state-of-the-art protocols and algorithms for WMNs. In this paper we propose MobiSEC, a complete security architecture that provides both access controls for mesh users and routers as well as a key distribution schemes that sup-ports layer-2 encryption to ensure security and data confidentiality of all communications that occur in the WMN.
