high-mobility effects on wlan fast re-authentication efficiency
Different fast re-authentication methods have been proposed to reduce the secure handover latency in 802.11 networks. Fast re-authentication methods perform proactive distribution of authentication keys avoiding authentication exchanges during network re-entry. The efficiency of these methods depends on their ability to propose proactive mechanisms that supports high velocities. In this paper, a comparison of the station velocity influence on the proactive distribution performance is given for several re-authentication methods. Three methods have been evaluated under a simulation environment.
