Abstract:

A formal analysis is made of the authentication protocol of IEEE 802.11r by  AUTLOG logic.Results show that the protocol is unable to completely realize the authentication and achieve key agreement goals.The scheme for improvement is proposed upon a thorough analysis of the reasons for security flaws.
