Identity-based access authentication protocol for wireless mesh network

To deal with efficiently and safely access for wireless mesh network(WMN),a new wireless mesh network access authentication protocol using identity-based cryptography is proposed.By taking WMN factors such as no-center,adaptive,multi-hop into consideration,identity-based authentication mechanism is introduced into WMN access authentication,based on which two-way Identity confirmation,network authentication and key agreement between accessing-node and accessed node are finished.According to the protocol,the process of authentication is simplified,and the delay of authentication is also reduced,meanwhile,distributed authentication is realized,last and most important,a new authentication method is provided to mass node access.In the end,security is proved by the method of BAN logic formal verification,and the efficiency is shown by efficiency analysis.
