Mobile agent based architecture to prevent session hijacking attacks in IEEE 802.11 WLAN

Session Hijacking is one of the major threats in IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs. Existing methodologies to overcome this attack seems to be non comprehensive. These Existing mechanisms to counter-act this attack increase the communicational overhead and load on the server and client. In this paper we propose a novel and robust mobile agent based mechanism to overcome the session hijacking attacks in IEEE 802.11 WLANs. This architecture addresses methodologies of cookie encryption, token generation and session key generation.
