摘要：Regarding this study, an extensive review of secure and fast handovers schemes were studied with the aim of solving security problems and authentication server computational overhead experienced in the existing schemes in wireless fidelity based networks. The complete verification scheme outlined in IEEE 802.11i network is unsuitable to be deployed so as to support the user’s seamless mobility. The contribution of this paper suggested a robust delivery of handoff keys for internetworking and intranetworking schemes with a dedicated trust relationship model existing in diverse domains. Inter-access point protocol was used to transfer handover credentials in an intra-domain network. Likewise, an inter-access control-tunnelling protocol with opportunity key caching and pairwise master key caching are suggested for inter-domain security context-transfers. Man-in-the-middle attacks are tasked to break mutual authentication for wireless networks. This paper pinpoints out that the suggested fast handover authentication scheme in our study outperforms the scheme of Wang and Prasad and other schemes mentioned in the extant studies. The proposed authentication scheme prevents replay attacks, masquerading and message modification.
