Abstract

Routers are used to connect both similar and dissimilar LANs. Routers are connected to access points. Access point provides wireless connectivity of a wired LAN. Whenever we consider router or access point for communication, in many cases, they are based on passphrase based security. It can be shown that MITM (Man in the middle attack) based on dictionary attack can be launched very easily and the security of entire network goes down. So we present a cryptographic scheme based on mathematical properties to overcome this problem with various associated advantages.
