Abstract :
A wireless LAN roaming system enables a user to access to a wireless network at a visiting institution with his/her account issued by his/her home institution. In the roaming system, an appropriate access privilege control is required. However, the conventional privilege authorization system gets unavailable because of some communication failures between institutions. In this work, we develop a fault-tolerant authorization system.
