Abstract: A node of Wireless Mesh Network can be a supplicant and an authenticator at the same time,which is under the risk of man in the middle(MITM) attack when authenticating with EAP-TLS protocol.Bi-directional authentication implemented by challenge signature and verification based on identity based signature(IBS) is introduced to avoid MITM attack.A simplified access control system which obviates multiple authentication is designed by adoption of service tickets.Requisition of PKI deployment is removed to keep the system simple and easy to maintain.

Key words: identity based signature, wireless mesh network, authentication, service ticket

摘要: 无线Mesh网的节点可以同时成为申请者和认证者,在采用EAP-TLS进行接入认证时容易受到中间人攻击。设计了基于身份签名技术的认证协议,通过挑战签名和验证实现双向认证,避免中间人攻击问题。采用节点服务门票技术简化认证过程,利用服务门票的签名证实认证者的身份,避免多次认证问题。基于身份签名的认证方法避免了部署和维护PKI系统的复杂性。
