            Abstract : 
After analyzing the merits and shortcomings of some current authentication protocols for roaming in wireless mesh networks (WMNs), we propose a new protocol for roaming based on multi-signature and three-party key agreement in this paper and prove the security of the protocol through formal analysis based on the strand space model. We also show the reliability and performance gain of the protocol using network simulation.
