An efficient and security/enhanced Re-authentication and Key exchange protocol for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs using Re-authentication Period

재인증주기를 통한 IEEE 802.11 무선랜 환경에서의 안전하고 효율적인 재인증과 키교환 프로토콜

In this paper, we introduce an efficient and security-enhanced re-authentication and key exchange protocol for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs using Re-authentication Period. We introduce a low computational complexity re-authentication and key exchange procedure that provides robustness in face of cryptographic attacks. This procedure accounts for the wireless media limitations, e.g. limited bandwidth and noise. We introduce the Re-authentication Period that reflects the frequency that the re-authentication procedure should be executed. We provide the user with suitable guidelines that will help in the determination of the re-authentication period.
