Abstract

Wireless Internet service providers need to secure their networks. Establishing a secure link between an access point and a client's WI-FI enabled device is a challenging issue. This paper provides an efficient cross-layer pairing protocol for internet WI-FI networks. The protocol uses information-theoretic security. We also present how to establish secure communication between clients's devices. Besides, we propose a mechanism to enforce the communication security by encrypting the MAC addresses at each frame.
