Abstract :

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are one of the key technologies which will dominate wireless networking in the next few years. The main characteristics of WMNs permit simple, low-cost network connectivity anytime anywhere. Their capability for self-organization significantly reduces the complexity of network deployment. The focus of this presentation provides some major research contributions that enable security applications to protect the routing protocol in Wireless Mesh Network. When Wireless Mesh networks are used in sensitive applications, there must be robust security protocols that ensure secure operation. The goals of security protocols should be to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of network traffic, and to preserve the availability of communications. Attacks intended to compromise routing integrity are a significant threat and can lead to a network-wide loss of availability.
