one hotspot to another?
• Is there one single authentication entity at all places?
• Is she able to get access from any location within the
hotspot, or are there areas where there is not adequate
coverage?

need of the provisioning of wireless-hop security
• not familiar with higher-layer security mechanisms
• sensitive information need to exchange securely
• to protect network against malicious users
• Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) in Wireless LAN standard
- disadvantage: not scalable to configure keys to many users
encryption algorithms are vulnerable to attack
• Port based network access control
- more secure than WEP
- disadvantage: lose validity after a short amount of time
changing AP, need re-authentication
