Title
Threshold key redistribution for dynamic change of authentication group in wireless mesh networks
Abstract
Threshold User Authentication is widely used to provide distributed authentication service in Wireless Mesh Networks(WMNs). In a (t, n) threshold authentication scheme, secret authentication keys are shared among n mesh authentication servers (MAS) and any t out of n MASs can collaboratively provide the authentication service. The existing threshold authentication methods usually assume that MASs are static in the system. That is, t and n do not change after system initialization. However, in WMNs, MASs often join or leave the network freely. In this paper, we propose a novel threshold key redistribution protocol, aiming to cope with dynamic change of the authentication group. We also discuss the key redistribution protocol that can tolerate compromised MASs in the network. ©2010 IEEE.
