Abstract

Analyzes the engineering environment in WLAN based on ECC, this paper describe a kind of dual signature scheme using multi-element authentication method by choosing appropriate ECC parameters. This scheme strengthen authentication for all the entities in WLAN, any party\´s identity should be checked by others when associating. The analytical results indicate that this scheme not only enhance the security of access control in wireless network environment, restrict the "Man-in-the-Middle" attacks, but also well support the bandwidth transport in wireless network.
