IPv6 無線網路認證系統

Abstract

由於資訊化的嶄新發展，筆記型電腦、資訊家電設備、手持式裝置、交通工具(汽機車等)、環境監控設備等漸漸開始大量使用無線網路運作，而新的網路應用越來越多，例如：VoIP、IPTV多媒體應用及Peer to Peer等新穎的應用，均需更多的IP位址。由於IPv4位址即將用罄，IPv6協定的導入將是解決方案，另無線網路的應用與流量也日益成長，而現存的無線網路的認證方式各有優缺點，本研究將著重在無線網路的認證方式比較，以及實作一IPv6無線網路認證系統。

Nowadays, more and more wireless devices, such as laptops, smartphones, PDAs, handsets, and information appliance are available. New WLAN applications have increased rapidly, such as Peer to Peer applications, VoIP, IPTV and other multimedia applications. The wireless devices need more IP addresses, so we need IPv6 addresses due to the lack address space of IPv4. Devices using IPv6 are few at the moment, so less WISP and academic WLAN deploy IPv6 WLAN, many have no authentication system for IPv6 WLAN. In the future, IPv6 authentication systems for WLAN will be needed. Our work compares existing WLAN authentication systems and implements an IPv6 authentication system for IEEE 802.11 WLAN.
