| Description | 262Security is a big concern in wireless mesh networks (WMNs), where providing a robust secure system is considered one of the most critical challenges promoting the commercial deployment of WMNs and influencing their usage. The security requirements in WMNs will determine what type of link level security protection is needed, at what protocol level intrusion detection and prevention must be performed, and what amount of overhead due to security can be tolerated in the network. This will be a constant battle requiring continuous security enhancements, continuous monitoring, and rapid responses to intrusions. This chapter starts by discussing the security challenges in WMNs, showing the possible types of attacks in these networks, and stating the different security requirements. Then the problem of authentication is presented, showing some authentication mechanisms that are useful in WMNs. The different contributions, employing the emerging standards for authentication and secure links setup with a mobility management support are presented, and the role of authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) in such environment is illustrated. The importance of trust provision is shown, where security mechanisms will have to leverage special capabilities to detect untrusted elements and to protect the mesh's integrity. The chapter ends by discussing privacy provision in WMNs considering traffic privacy and confidential transfer. Book Name: Security in Wireless Mesh Networks |
