Abstract

In this paper, a 4-way Handshake protocol in the IEEE 802.11i is analyzed in terms of both security and reliability. It is shown that the 4-way Handshake protocol breaks down under some conditions due to a MIC (message integrity code) failure, and a solution to fix it is proposed. It is also proposed that a new 2-way Handshake protocol which is more secure and efficient than the 4-way Handshake protocol.
