Abstract :
To tackle the drawback of Mesh Security Associations (MSA) launched by IEEE802.11s Working Group, this paper presents and elaborates an improvement, namely Proactive Security Protection Mechanism (PSPM), which simplifies key distribution through self-organized key management, while also ensuring routing security and channel security. Its effectiveness and efficiency are later explained and demonstrated in this paper. NS2 simulation results have shown that PSPM is secure, cost efficient and widely applicable.
