Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are emerging as promising, convenient next generation wireless network technology. There is a great need for a secure framework for routing in WMNs and several research studies have proposed secure versions of the default routing protocol of WMNs. In this paper, we propose a security framework for Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol (HWMP) in WMNs. Contrary to existing schemes, our proposed framework ensures both endto-end and point-to-point authentication and integrity to both mutable and non-mutable fields of routing frames by adding message extension fields to the HWMP path selection frame elements. Security analysis and simulation results show that the proposed approach performs significantly well in spite of the cryptographic computations involved in routing.

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are one of the key technologies that will dominate wireless networking in the few years. The main characteristics of WMNs permit network connectivity anywhere anytime with simplicity and low cost. Their capability for self-organization significantly reduces the complexity of network deployment. The draft standard of IEEE P802.11 s ™ /D4.0 is not considered secure for the routing protocol. In this paper, we propose a secure Hybrid-Wireless-Mesh Protocol using an Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA-HWMP). We then compare the ECDSA-based HWMP against identity-based encryption (IBE)-based HWMP. This study has been carried out to show the great benefits of the IBE technique in securing HWMP. Through extensive Network Simulator-3 simulations, results have shown that the IBE-HWMP outperforms the ECDSA-HWMP in terms of overhead, throughput, loss ratio and delay. Simulation results show that the use of the IBE-based HWMP provides a greater level of security with light overhead.The IEEE 802.11 s Standard [1] considers security for authentication of nodes but does not consider security for the routing protocols. WMNs have characteristics such as rapid deployment and improved performance over conventional wireless local area networks. WMNs are self-organized and self-configured, with the nodes in the network automatically establishing an ad hoc network and maintaining mesh connectivity. An important aspect of the operation of WMNs is that communication between nodes can go beyond the range of coverage of any individual node, achieving routing multihops, where any pair of nodes that need to communicate will

In this paper, we propose a security schema for the Radio Aware Optimized Link State Routing (RA-OLSR) protocol. We consider the security vulnerabilities for RA-OLSR and apply mechanisms based on Identity Based Encryption (IBE). The motivation behind using the IBE-signature is that it eliminates the need to verify the authenticity of public keys. We have implemented the IBE technique to secure messages in RA-OLSR, namely Hello and TC messages. Through simulation experiments, we have evaluated the performance of our IBE-RA-OLSR in terms of delay and control overhead. Simulation results show that the IBE-RA-OLSR does not induce a long overhead compared to the original RA-OLSR protocol.A. key word IBE, RA-OLSR, Security, Routing Protocols, Radio Aware Optimized Link State Routing.
