Abstract :
Wireless mesh network (WMN) is a new emerging field with its potential applications in extremely unpredictable and dynamic environments. WMN has the feather of self-organization, distributed structure. WMN is going to address the internet provision to users at low cost anytime from anywhere, as it allows a fast, easy and inexpensive network deployment. However, they are far from mature for large-scale deployment in some applications due to the lack of the satisfactory guarantees on security. In the wireless mesh networks, management model is one of the most important secure problems. We propose a security based model for wireless mesh network which be adapted by large groups according to network characteristics.
