Abstract
This paper analyzes the security concerns of IEEE 802.11 WLAN based mesh networking for the home scenario. The paper also provides a novel solution to setup the wireless home area network (WHAN) with minimal user intervention. The proposed solution makes use of the concept of resurrecting duckling. Once the network is setup the proposed solution takes care that not only data but also management and control/signaling are secured. The paper also presents a security analysis of the novel solution.
