“…Celia and et al in [6] divide the authentication protocols in wireless networks into three categories: a) Multi-hop authentication [7], b) Pro-active authentication [8], and c) Ticket-based authentication [5, 9, and 10]. Multi-hop authentication protocols require that the MS must return to the AS server each time of hop for re-authentication, which may be existed very far from the MS.…”

“…Kassab et al [6] propose two fast re-authentication methods: ''PKD with IAPP cashing'' and ''PKD with anticipated 4-way Handshake''. In the ''PDK with IAPP cashing'' method, the current access point calculates PMK and PTK for its neighbors, and then pre-distributes these keys to each one using the IAPP.…”

Wireless mesh networks have grown very rapidly in recent years, owing to the features of self-organization, low installation costs, large-scale deployment, and faulttolerance. Fast and efficient authentication schemes are especially important in multi-hop WMNs. We propose two novel ticket-based mutual authentication protocols in order to minimize the latency, one for initial authentication and the other for fast handover. The 4-way handshake in the phase of login authentication is cut down to 2-way using the Login-Ticket. The authentication server does not need to be involved in the handover authentication process. Instead, the target mesh access points authenticate mobile clients using the tickets pre-distributed by the current access points, avoiding multi-hop wireless communications between the authentication server and the mesh clients/points. Furthermore, even if the client has to handover several times, the AS is still not required to be involved in the process. Security analysis shows that our proposed protocols are secure and resilient to various kinds of attacks. Performance analysis demonstrates that the protocols are efficient in terms of authentication delay and communications costs, thus they are very suitable for circumstance of WMNs.

DSMeM Streaming: distributed system to mitigate the effects of performance anomaly and user mobility on IEEE 802.11 WLANs

On IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs (WLAN) the clients have control over the handoff procedure; a client decides the best AP (access point) to be associated to and when and where to change its association to a new AP. This simple handoff management technique can have negative effects for both static and mobile clients of the same cell, since some wireless clients remain associated with their current AP even when a better AP is reachable. Combined with handoff latencies, this mobility method can have a negative effect on various services with severe restrictions regarding delivery rate and delay. In this paper, a distributed and transparent system that monitors channel conditions, manages user data based on its knowledge and induces client handoffs when a better AP is reachable, is presented. One of the strongest points of the proposed solution is that it can work in currently deployed IEEE 802.11 WLANs without the server, clients or APs having to introduce new software.
