Semantic Web-based Access Control in Wireless Mesh Networks
Ghassan Chaddoud · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2017
In local communities, there exists a tendency to increase dependability on Wireless Mesh Networks, WMNs, as an appealing access network infrastructure, where municipalities and local communities would try to encourage information sharing and knowledge dissemination.However, WMNs are prone to different kind of threats such as disinformation and alteration, on one side, and their security would be overseen by local governments and citizens, on another side.This paper presents a new scheme to control access to WMNs based on semantic web techniques where information about people is available on the network for others, and people have knowledge of each other within their communities.
