WLAN에서 Kerberos v5를 이용하여 안전성을 강화한 DIAMETER의 확장

DIAMETER Strong Security Extension using Kerberos v5 in WLAN

The demand for Wireless LAN (WLAN) access to use their network and the Internet is surged dramatically over the past year. Since WLAN provides users' access from anywhere in the workplace without having to plug in, it therefore leads the WLAN market to grow steadily. Unfortunately, the first WLAN implementation designed primarily for home networking did little to address these security issues. Moreover, although the 802.11b standard published by IEEE in 1999 improved WLAN connections LAN-equivalent speed and security from the 802.11 standard. However, there still are several flaws such as the weaknesses in the Authentication and WEP encryption schemes in the IEEE 802.11 WLAN standard. In this paper, we propose WLAN architecture for providing the strong centralized authentication, encryption, and dynamic key distribution on a WLAN. Additionally, this proposed architecture is able to support roaming users and is flexible and extensible to future developments in the network security.
