Abstract

Due to the ease of deployment and low cost, wireless mesh networks have been deployed in many metropolitan areas and business units. How to establish secure communications among the communication entities such as mesh routers and mobile clients (or mesh clients) even when roaming to different mesh networks (called mesh domains) is a challenging task. In this paper, we leverage the ID-based cryptography and propose a novel secure architecture to enable secure communications in large-scale multi-domain wireless mesh networks. Under this architecture, mesh clients can conveniently gain services securely even when roaming.

It is computationally infeasible to extract the integer \(x\in {\mathbb{Z}}_{q}^{\ast}=\{i|1\leq i\leq q-1\}\), given \(P,Q\in {\mathbb{G}}_1\) (respectively, \(P,Q\in {\mathbb{G}}_2\)) such that Q = xP (respectively, Q = P ^x).
