This paper presents a new QoS model for end-to-end service provisioning in multi-hop wireless networks. In legacy IEEE 802.11e based multi-hop wireless networks, the fixed assignment of service classes according to flow's priority at every node causes priority inversion problem when performing end-to-end service differentiation. Thus, this paper proposes a new QoS provisioning model called Dynamic Hop Service Differentiation (DHSD) to alleviate the problem and support effective service differentiation between end-to-end nodes. Many previous works for QoS model through the 802.11e based service differentiation focus on packet scheduling on several service queues with different service rate and service priority. Our model, however, concentrates on a dynamic class selection scheme, called Per Hop Class Assignment (PHCA), in the node's MAC layer, which selects a proper service class for each packet, in accordance with queue states and service requirement, in every node along the end-to-end route of the packet. The proposed QoS solution is evaluated using the OPNET simulator. The simulation results show that the proposed model outperforms both best-effort and 802.11e based strict priority service models in mobile ad hoc environments.

Nowadays, a user authentication is very important in network environments. For safe authentication, they came up with six essential conditions in earlier studies. And a variety of mechanisms is presented by research scientists. However, they could not achieve the PFS. Because, though all these schemes are assumed that the communication between a smart card and a host is safe, actually it is not. Therefore, in this paper, we will point out what the communication between a smart card and a host is not safe, and propose a new user authentication mechanism that can reach to the PFS. And also, an encryption algorithm is used about 45% less than earlier studies in our proposed scheme. Thus, we can say that enhance the efficiency.
