Design And Implementation Of A Secure Wireless Mesh Network Fast Switching Protocol MESH-FT

As the rapid development of wireless network technology, various802.11xstandards are updated constantly, and the new wireless network architecture andtechnology is being constantly raised. While the development of wireless local areanetwork WLAN unfolding, a new wireless Mesh network has emerged. The wirelessMesh network’s core guiding ideology is to make each node of the network can sendand receive signals, which solved the problems of poor scalability and low robustness ofthe traditional WLAN network.The appearance of wireless Mesh technologies representanother major leap of the wireless network technology, which has a very broadapplication prospects.Based on the analysis of existing security technology and fast switching protocols,a secure wireless network fast switching protocol MESH-FT is raised,by designing anew structure of key hierarchy to ensure the mobile terminal can quickly switch to adifferent wireless access point. At the same time,the keys is generated to protect the linkbetweent AP and server.There are three major functional modules of the system, namely the client module,AP module, and server module. Combine of the three modules to build a wireless Meshnetwork environment to test the protocol, and analysis the test results. The results showthat the new security protocol is high-efficiency and secure. It’s in keeping with thedesign objectives.In addition,a control software of this protocol is programed to facilitate moreintuitive,display easily and contol of our protocol.
