%0 Journal Article %T SWMPT: Securing Wireless Mesh Networks Protocol Based on Ticket Authentication %A Rushdi A. Hamamreh %A Anas M. Melhem %J International Journal of ACM Jordan %D 2011 %I ACM Jordan ISWSA Professional Chapter %X Wireless mesh network (WMN) consists of two parts: mesh access points which are relatively static and energy-rich devices, and mesh clients which are relatively dynamic and power constrained. In this paper, we present a new model for WMN end-to-end security which divides authentication process into two phases: Mesh Access Point which is based on asymmetric cryptography and Mesh Client which is based on a server-side certificate such as EAP-TTLS. %U http://ijj.acm.org/volumes/volume2/no4/ijjvol2no4p2.pdf
