Universally composable secure authentication protocol for wireless mesh networks
Jianfeng Ma · Journal of Xidian University · 2007
The authentication protocol of Wireless Mesh Networks does not support 802.1X-based mutual authentication.Based on Diffie-Hellman(DH) exchange and making use of the combination characteristic of the Universally Composable(UC) security model and trust transfer,a new authentication protocol is proposed.Piggybacking opposite direction authentication messages in response,this protocol not only provides two-way authentication for Wireless Mesh Networks but also affords provably UC-security.Furthermore,compared with the original scheme,the communication cost decresses by 60%.
