Abstract
As Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is deliberated as a key technology in today’s networking era, security during designing of such system plays a significant role. A number of techniques (i.e. PANA, LHAP) have been proposed by several researchers in order to provide the security, but leads to certain vulnerability i.e. computational overhead, network congestion and encryption/decryption timing delay. In order to overcome against such drawbacks, this manuscript gives a novel technique based on homomorphic encryption (HE). Homomorphic encryption is a technique employed to heighten the security using algebraic operations without increasing the computational overhead. The suggested technique is evaluated against encryption/decryption parameter and proves the efficiency in comparison of existing protocols.
