ESCORT: A Decentralized and Localized Access Control System for Mobile Wireless Access to Secured Domains

Overview This paper designs and implements ESCORT, a backward compatible, efficient, and secure access control system, to facilitate mobile wireless access to secured wireless LANs. In mobile environments, a mobile guest may frequently roam into foreign domains while demanding critical network services. As a permanent component of wireless LAN, the communication channel between the escort and the LAN can be secured by effective countermeasures like 802.11i TKIP and AES-CCMP. Therefore, ESCORT addresses the challenge of providing efficient mobile privacy support between the escort and its mobile guests. Three aspects of mobile privacy, namely content privacy, identity privacy, and location privacy are covered in ESCORT design to maximize the protection offered to ESCORT's mobile guests.
