Light Weight Token for Authentication/Authorization for Mobile Wi-Fi Networks
Overview The buzz word that is re-energizing a struggling, telecom industry is Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity). Wi-Fi is the popular term for a high-frequency Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). 802.11 Wireless LANs communicate by radio waves that travel between a WLAN client running on a laptop or other computing device and an access point, which links wireless users to a wired Ethernet network. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11b standard together with 802.11, 802.11a, and 802.11g explain the Wi-Fi specifications. The paper proposes a method to provide AutheNZ (AutheNtication/authoriZation) of clients to WLAN networks using a light weight token that will use only a fraction of the session time and hence will be helpful under the mobile conditions.
