Abstract
Using wireless mesh networks to offer Internet connectivity is becoming a popular choice for wireless Internet service providers as it allows fast, easy, and inexpensive network deployment. However, security in WMNs is still in its infancy as very little attention has been devoted thus far to this topic by the research community. In this article we describe the specifics of WMNs and identify three fundamental network operations that need to be secured
