Outline • A^4 Mesh Network Model • A^4 Mesh Authentication and Authorization TF-MNM, February 15, 11Lyon
Wireless Mesh Network Model • Wireless nodes used as wireless router: • - PCEngines Alix.3D board • - IEEE 802.11n cards • - Software: Embedded Linux OS (ADAM) • Routing protocol: 802.11s, IPv4/IPv6 • 2x2 MIMO directional or omnidirectional • antenna • Web server providing a user interface • for the network management and • configuration purposes. Management and configuration data can be exchanged among the mesh nodes TF-MNM, Feb-15-11, Lyon
A4Mesh: Authentication and Authorization User data forwarding, management data dissemination requires a trust between Mesh nodes. Authentication mechanism between nodes are needed. Only authorized users, authorized nodes should be able to join the network • Authentication issues : • Clients, end systems have to be authenticated • before being able to use the network Moonshot ? • Management interface Shibboleth protected for mesh admin SWITCHaai • Mesh Nodes - ?
