Abstract

In this paper, we propose a distributed authentication mechanism for sharing an overlay network among multiple organizations in order to establish secure connections among members for each organization. By combining a layer 2 virtual private network technology with a method for transmitting authenticated frames like Point-to-point protocol over Ethernet, we can avoid the threat of spoofing attack or phishing on network layer. We have implemented the prototypes both for the Internet Applications over IP and for the voice switching networks that support organization / communities.
