Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Identity federation has been adopted in various web and network services including Public Wireless LAN (WLAN). Network disruptions often lead to service interruptions, even for local applications, since most identity federation systems depend on network connectivity. We have developed an automatic authentication network configuration method which works well even on dynamically changing networks such as Wireless Mesh Network (WMN). Local authentication method using client certificates has been combined with a WMN, and used for both access point and user authentications. The system works even when the back-haul network is disrupted in a disaster affected area, and enables various local services. The new system will also be useful for temporary and quick deployment of WLAN systems at conference/event sites as well as in affected areas.
