Abstract

The Next Generation Hotspot (NGH), based on the Hotspot 2.0 specification, is being introduced as a new conceptual standard that brings higher security and usability to Public Wireless LAN. There has been a movement in recent years for connecting some Roaming Consortia (RC) by NGH to develop a Large-Scale Wireless LAN roaming system. However, a routing problem has been identified in the identity federation system when an RC consisting of multiple operators is being connected. A typical example is eduroam, the roaming system for research and education institutions, having thousands of different realms. It is hard for wireless Service Providers (SPs) to find which RC the authentication requests should be sent to. To deal with this problem, this paper develops a Hub Proxy with learning-based automatic RC discovery and routing. The effectiveness of the system has been confirmed through some experiments using a virtual inter-roaming federation network.

大规模无线局域网漫游系统的自动漫游联盟发现和路由

基于Hotspot 2.0规范的下一代热点(NGH)作为一种新的概念标准被引入，为公共无线局域网带来更高的安全性和可用性。近年来出现了一种利用NGH连接一些漫游联盟(RC)来开发大规模无线局域网漫游系统的运动。然而，在身份联合系统中，当由多个操作员组成的RC被连接时，存在路由问题。一个典型的例子是eduroam，这是一个为研究和教育机构提供的漫游系统，拥有数千个不同的领域。无线服务提供商(sp)很难找到应该将身份验证请求发送到哪个RC。为了解决这一问题，本文开发了一种基于学习的集线器代理，该代理具有RC自动发现和路由功能。通过虚拟漫游联合网络的实验，验证了该系统的有效性。
