Abstract
A ticket-based shared secret authentication is provided. A client device receives a ticket, and performs an authentication with an access point using the ticket. The access point deploys a first public key-private key pair to an intermediate device. The intermediate device and access point share a master secret to protect information in the ticket. The access point receives an association request from the client device that includes a nonce public key and a signature using a second public key-private key pair provided by the intermediate device. The access point authenticates the client device using the nonce public key. The access point sends an association response to the client device based on the authentication and a signature using the first public key-private key pair. The access point initiates an association with the client device to permit the client device to connect to a network associated with the access point.
