Abstract

Current IEEE 802.11 standard is very vulnerable that between the AP and STA authentication and security mechanisms is widely known. Therefore, IEEE has proposed security architecture RSN (Robust Security Network) for 802.11. RSN is used the access control, authentication, and key management based on the IEEE 802.1X standard. In this paper, IEEE 802.1X or 802.11 a combination of several models proposed for the vulnerability, and session hijacking or MiM (Man-in the-Middle) attacks to respond, the authentication mechanism Was designed to the access control between the STA and the AP.

현재 IEEE 802.11표준은 AP와 STA사이의 인증 및 보안 메커니즘이 취약하다고 많이 알려져 있다. 따라서, IEEE는 RSN(Robust Security Network)을 802.11에 대한 보안 아키텍처를 제안했다. RSN은 접근제어와, 인증, 그리고 키 관리 기반으로 IEEE 802.1X 표준을 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.1X 또는, 802.11이 결합된 몇 가지 모델에 대한 취약점을 제시하고, 세션가로채기 또는 MiM(Man-in the-Middle)공격에 대응 할 수 있는 STA와 AP간의 접근제어, 인증 메커니즘을 설계하였다.
