Abstract
Wireless LAN systems have been deployed for wireless internet services for hot spots, home, or offices. Recently, WLAN-Based Mesh Networking is developed with the benefit of easy deployment and easy configuration. Due to the characteristic of distributed environment, Wireless Mesh Networks(WMNs) need a new authentication scheme which allows multi-hop communication. In this paper, we propose a distributed authentication method which significantly eases the management burden and reduces the storage space on mesh points, thus enables the secure and easy deployment of WMNs.
