A Mobile Agent Based Architecture for Securing WLANs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wireless LANs are open and are vulnerable to various attacks. Techniques available to prevent Wireless LANs from these attacks are not comprehensive. In this paper we discuss the drawbacks of the existing security mechanisms and we provide a security architecture which uses Mobile agents as a security facilitator. Using this architecture, users have freedom to choose from a variety of encryption techniques presently available, to secure their Wireless LANs. Keywords—Security, wireless LANs, mobile agent and encryption algorithm.

متن کاملIntegrating WLANs & MANETs to the IPv6 based Internet
This paper presents a novel approach to integrate Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) and Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) to the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) based Internet. In the proposed network architecture, the mobiles, connected as a MANET, employ the Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol for routing within the MANET. Gateways are used to connect MANETs to the Internet. This...
