Abstract
With the huge number of deployment of 802.11 wireless LAN (WLAN), the coverage area of WLAN, known as hot-spot, is increasing rapidly. In these WLAN hot-spots, people enjoy wireless Internet access with high-speed data transmission rate anytime and anywhere. As a result, it becomes a trend that WLAN serves as a public system for wireless Internet services.
In the existing business operations of WLAN, a WLAN user must be the customer of various WLAN operators before gaining wireless Internet services. In order to access WLAN networks of different operators, the user typically goes through various login or authentication procedures
manually with different account/password format. Also, the user must remember WLAN card configuration setups for different WLAN networks. It is clear that such exercise is not user-friendly. Hence, how to provide a mechanism that automates the authentication and WLAN configuration
setup procedure is a critical issue.
In this thesis, we propose an authentication and auto-configuration mechanism for WLAN based on short message service of mobile telecommunications network. Through this mechanism, user can access WLAN services without tedious authentication and configuration setup procedure while roaming among different WLAN networks. Also this mechanism can avoid the several security attacks in the 802.11 WLAN. In addition to introducing the detail of mechanisms, we have designed and implemented a prototypical platform, Wireless Auto-configuration and Authentication Platform (WACAP) that realize the mechanism.
