Abstract: User mobility in WLANs becomes more and more popular because of the wide deployment of WLANs and numerous applications on it. Some of these applications, for example multimedia applications, require fast handoffs among access points to maintain the quality of service. In order to support multimedia applications for roaming users, IEEE 802.11i defines pre-authentication to reduce the re-authentication delay. The primary drawback of IEEE 802.11i pre-authentication is that the full 802.1x/EAP authentication consumes too much overhead. In this paper, we propose two secure fast pre-authentication schemes that greatly improve the efficiency and achieve high security level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
