无线Mesh网络安全研究

A Survey on Security of Wireless Mesh Networks

无线Mesh网络(Wireless Mesh Networks,WMN)是下一代网络中的新型技术,和传统网络不同,它可以不依赖任何固定的设施,主机可以相互依赖保持网络连接。WISP可以利用它提供快速、简单、低廉的网络部署,然而存在一个主要的挑战就是易于遭受攻击。文中介绍了无线Mesh网络的体系机构以及特点,分析并研究其存在的安全性威胁以及现有的关键安全解决机制。

WMN （Wireless Mesh Networks, WMN） is a new type of next-generation network technology. Unlike any traditional networks, it relies on no fixed infrastructure, and the hosts may rely on each other to keep the network connected. Wireless internet service providers may use it to provide fast, easy, and inexpensive network deployment. A main challenge in the design of these networks is their vulnerability to security attacks. In this paper, the architecture and the characteristics of the wireless mesh network is described, and the existing safety threats and critical security mechanisms are studied and analyzed.
