A Secure Packet Handover Scheme using RSA Algorithm in Wireless Networks

Standards of IEEE 802 ease the deployment of networking infrastructures and provides employers to access corporate networks while travelling or visiting. These standards provide two modes of communication called infrastructure and ad hoc modes. At present Wireless network has been deployed worldwide, but some security issues in wireless network might have prevented its further acceptance. IEEE 802.1X specification is one of the solutions to overcome the limitation of wireless network security, a technique for port-based network handover control, which is based on Rivest, Shamir and Adleman(RAS). It is an authentication framework that can support public-key cryptography. RAS algorithm involves three steps: key generation, password based encryption, decryption between base stations and it is flexible in its implementation. Thus, it might be possible to use RSA as a generic authentication mechanism in various wireless networks including ad hoc network. This paper describes Wireless network scenario we must have improve Performance, Security, Usability in wireless network on base stations using proposed algorithm with RSA cryptography based algorithm.
