Abstract :
Nowadays, the definition and integration of the security measures within the communication network infrastructure from its early stages of design represents a common required task. This paper focus on the overall security architecture we designed for hybrid mesh networks (802.11 and 802.16). The main objectives of our security architecture are the authentication and authorization (AA) of devices/users for granting access to the connectivity services. We point out the main design security requirements we addressed and define our IEEE 802.1x-based security architecture. Thereafter, we present the preliminary validation results achieved to date.
