Formal verification of secure authentication in wireless mesh network (SAWMN)

Abstract

Wireless mesh network (WMN) is considered to be an evolving technique because of self-configuration and adaptive features, and it supports large-scale network especially in an organization and academics. As with any network, communication among nodes plays an important role, when two nodes in a network communicate with each other via the internet, secure authentication is an imperative challenge. In literature, there are many approaches that have been suggested to deliver a secure authentication between nodes in WMN; however, all these outlines contain some disadvantages, i.e., management cost of the public key and system complexity. In this paper, a Secure Authentication in Wireless Mesh Network (SAWMN) approach is proposed which overcomes these drawbacks and provides an efficient authentication to the mesh clients. Further, SAWMN results have been shown simulated on AVISPA SPAN to ascertain the authenticity of the proposed approach.
