Enhanced Security Model of E-Cash system in Wireless Mesh Networks

In today’s fast moving world, everything can be done by electronically for the purpose of providing fast and comfortable communication in this case providing trust worthy environment is a challenging task. Security in all aspects has become a major concern. Anonymity allows user to enjoy network services without any difficulties of accessing procedure but it provides the gateway of hacker’s introduction. In this paper, an Attack-Resilient Security Architecture (ARSA) proposed for WMNs to ensure unconditional anonymity for honest users and traceability of misbehaving users for network authorities in WMNs. This also strives to resolve the conflicts between the anonymity and traceability objectives in addition to guaranteeing fundamental security requirements including authentication, confidentiality, data integrity, and non-repudiation. By considering an e-cash systems in which conditional anonymity is implemented, such that misbehaving entities in the network remain traceable. Hence this kind of anonymity provides protection for honest users to enjoy network services without being traced. The main purpose of this security model is to enable successful transactions among users. Here we are providing a high level of security for the trusted users by allowing them to undergo transaction only during an allotted time interval. Also trace out the misbehaviour at the time of cheating itself by using trusted monitors in a network. The highlight of this scheme is instead of using a database, an object file is used to ensure a high level of security. This indeed stresses on the fact that is mainly trying to achieve security in all aspects including database too.
