A new Efficient Trusted Authentication Scheme for Wireless Mesh Networks
Zhai Pen · Journal of Jining University · 2014
Wireless mesh network(WMN) is such a network that doesn't need to rely on fixed infrastructure and is operated over an open,wireless medium. Any user within the covered area of radio wave may access the network. Therefore,authentication for network access is the first line of defense that can prevent unauthorized users from accessing the network. An authentication scheme is thus a key mechanism to ensure secure access. In this paper,we propose a trusted authentication protocol based on Trusted Platform Module(TPM) in which the validity of both the user and the terminal device is verified. Thus,only trusted terminals used by legal users are allowed to access a WMN.
