The IEEE 802.1x can be using various user authentication mechanisms: One-Time Password, Certificate-Based TLS, Challenge/Response and Keberos through EAP(Extended Authentication Protocol). But, IEEE 802.1x also has vulnerabilities about the DoS, the session hijacking and the Man in the Middle attack due to the absence of AP authentication. In this paper, we propose a WLAN secure system which can offer a safety secure communication and a user authentications by intensified the vulnerability of spoofing and DoS attacks. The suppose system offers a safe secure communication because it offers sending message of integrity service and also it prevents DoS attack at authentication initial phase.

The IEEE 802.1x standard provides an architectural framework which can be used various authentication methods. But, IEEE 802.1x also has vulnerabilities about the DoS, the session hijacking and the Man in the Middle attack due to the absence of AP authentication. In this paper, we propose a WLAN secure system which can offer a robust secure communication and a user authentications with the IEEE 802.1x framework. The user authentication on the WLAN secure system accomplishes mutual authentications between authentication severs, clients and the AP using PKI and prevents an illegal user from intervening in communication to disguise oneself as a client, the AP or authentication servers. Also, we guarantee the safety of the communication by doing secure communication between clients and the AP by the Dynamic WEP key distribution.

The IEEE 802.1x standard provides an architectural framework which can be used various authentication methods. But, IEEE 802.1x also has vulnerabilities about the DoS(Denial of Service), the session hijacking and the MiM(Man in the Middle) attack due to caused by structural of authentication protocol. In this paper, we propose a WLAN system which can offer safety communication by complement of IEEE 802.1x vulnerabilities. The WLAN system accomplishes mutual authentications between authentication servers, clients and the AP using PKI and prevents an illegal user from intervening in communication to disguise oneself as a client, the AP or authentication servers. Also, we guarantee the safety of the communication by the Dynamic WEP key distribution between clients and the AP.

The existing wireless LAN standard IEEE802.11b has many vulnerabilities from security point of view. The authentication mechanisms in IEEE802.11b have many vulnerabilities. As a result to complement the weak of IEEE802.11b authentication, the IEEE802.1x had been developed in the sense of providing strong user authentication with appropriate mechanism. But this mechanism does not perform AP authentication and there are also some weak points. And in confidentiality and message Integrity case, WEP is weak from key stream reuse attack, IV reuse attack and so on. For that reason, in this paper we propose secure wireless LAN system. Our system provides strong user authentication, confidentiality, and message integrity based on existing IEEE802.1x framework and TLS.

EAP provides authentication for each entity based on IEEE Std 802.1x Wireless lAN and RADIUS/DIAMETER protocol, and it uses certificate, dual scheme(e.g., password and token) with the authentication method. The password-based authentication scheme for authenticated key exchange is the most widely-used user authentication method due to various advantages, such as human-memorable simplicity, convenience, mobility, A specific hardware device is also unnecessary, This paper discusses user authentication via public networks and proposes the Split Password-based Authenticated Key Exchange (SPAKE), which is ideal for both authenticating users and exchanging session keys when using a subsequent secure communication over untrusted network, And then we provides EAP authentication framework EAP-SPAKE by using it.

The Certificate Revocation List(CRL) or the Online Certificate Status Protocol(OCSP)has been used to validate certificates. However, the CRL cannot validate certificates in realtime because of the Time-Gap problem and the OCSP server overloads in a large scale secure system. In addition, the client cannot access a wired LAN until the client has been authenticated by the authentication server on the IEEE 802. 1x framework. Therefore, the client cannot validate the authentication server's certificate using a certificate validation server. Thus, the client cannot authenticate the authentication server in realtime. To solve these problems this paper designed a secure system that can protect the content of communications and authenticate users in realtime on a wireless LAN The designed certificate validation protocol was proved that the stability and efficiency of the system was very high, the result of the validation had the presence, the speed of the validation was not affected by the system scale, the number of authorities user must trust was reduced to one, and the overload of the validation server was Protected. And the designed user authentication and key exchange protocols were Proved that the mutual authentication was possible in realtime and the fact of the authentication could be authorized by the CA because of using the authorized certificates.
