Unified 3-Tier Security Mechanism to Enhance Data Security in Mobile Wireless Networks [ READ ]
Zeynep Büsra KIRENCIGIL,Onurhan YILMAZ,Arif SARI
The wide range of security mechanism proposals in wireless networks provide variety of impractical solutions for different security gaps due to the nature of the network infrastructure. Proposed mechanisms deployed in different layers classified as link, end-to-end and message segments in the proposed mechanisms stated in the literature. Security mechanisms deployed on wireless networks mainly focus on crypto algorithms for message encryption. Different mechanisms such as link encryption, message encryption and end-to-end encryption mechanisms provided to enhance data transfer security in Wireless networks. This research classifies the security mechanisms into 3 different categories for wireless networks as link, end-to-end and message encryption and proposes 3-tier mechanism by combining identification, authentication, and authorization mechanisms for each of the message, end-to-end and link encryption mechanisms. The proposed 3-tier mechanism structure is examined through OPNET simulation experiment and suggestion was made on theoretical aspect by providing new security insights.
