  ABSTRACT: The broadcast nature of wireless network makes traditional link-layer attacks readily available to anyone within the range of the network. User authentication is best safeguard against the risk of unauthorized access to the wireless networks. The present 802.1× authentication scheme has some flaws, making mutual authentication impossible and open to man-in-the-middle attacks. These characteristics make traditional cryptographic mechanism provide weak security for the wireless environment. We have proposed the use of mobile agents to provide dependable Internet services delivery to users, this will guarantee secure authentication in wireless networks and we examine the feasibility of our solution and propose a model for wireless network security.
