towards compromise-resilient localized authentication architecture for wireless mesh networks
In this paper, a novel compromise-resilient localized authentication scheme is proposed for metropolitan-area wireless mesh networks (WMNs), which aims to mitigate the impact caused by a compromise event on one or multiple mesh access points (MAPs) before they are identified and removed from the network. As a proactive mechanism based on a "best practice" strategy - Defence in Depth, the proposed scheme can protect critical WMN functionalities, such as user authentication and handoff support, even in presence of compromised MAPs.
