Abstract
IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN technology is essential for wireless internet, next generation converged network and home network. But, it is certain that user's privacy must be provided to expand the applicable area in IEEE 802.11 WLAN. Recently, WEP and 802.11i security scheme can be used in MAC Layer. But with VPN technology which is applied to WLAN user, it means that suity mechanism is used redundantly. One bit authentication mechanism was already proposed to solve this redundancy. In this paper, we analyze problems of 1-bit Authentication mechanism which are failure of synchronization and waste of packet. And we propose new algorithm which synchronizes sender with receiver, at once, using duplicated-packet-count information. We show that our algorithm improves success probability of packet authentication up to $98\%$ and efficiency of authentication bit stream up to $97\%$.
