Abstract：

Wireless　mesh　networks　are　widely　considered　as　a　vision　for　the　future　of　wireless　mobile　networks.　In　this　paper,　we　present　a　deeply　protected　hybrid　key　exchange　model　in　wireless　mesh　networks　named　DPHKE.　The　model　uses　signcryption　and　encryption　to　deeply　protect　the　shared-key＇s　secret　material　and　uses　keyed　one-way　hash　function　to　realize　key　source　authentication.　Based　on　the　model,　we　perform　implementations　using　discrete　logarithm　based　signcryption　and　elliptic　curve　based　signcryption　and　show　that　our　model　can　lower　the　computational　cost　and　the　communication　overhead　by　at　least　12.5%　and　33.3%,　respectively,　compared　to　DKEUTS,　SAKE　and　EC-SAKE.
