A Ticket Based Architecture for Providing Anonymity and Traceability in Wireless Mesh Network
S. Parvaiz, V. Sreenatha Sarma · 2012
A wireless mesh is a communication network made up of radio nodes organized in a mesh topology . A wireless mesh network help users to stay online anywhere, anytime for an unlimited time and it provide high security.In this paper we come across two issues one is anonymity and other is traceability. Anonymity provides protection for users to enjoy network services without being traced. Now a day’s Anonymity has received increasing attention in the literature due to the users’ awareness of their privacy. anonymity-related issues have been extensively studied in payment-based systems such as e-cash and peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, little effort has been devoted to wireless mesh networks (WMNs). The network authority requires conditional anonymity such that misbehaving entities in the network remain traceable.so in order to provide high network security we provide a secure architecture to ensure unconditional anonymity for honest users and traceability of misbehaving users for network authorities in WMNs. This architecture strives to resolve the conflicts between the anonymity and traceability objectives. Finally the architecture guaranteeing fundamental security requirements such as authentication, confidentiality, data integrity, and no repudiation.
