Abstract

After the vulnerabilities found in the WEP protocol, providing secure wireless network access has been shown to be a complicated task. This paper describes the specification of a two-protocol architecture that provides secure, flexible, and convenient Internet access. Mutual authentication between mobile clients and access points is performed using public keys tied to domain names while confidentiality, sender authentication and replay detection are provided on a per-frame basis, using per-client dynamic session keys. Designed for the mobile environment, the architecture also provides users with mobility between networks with different address prefixes.
