Abstract
As the number of wireless users increases and as more powerful mobile devices become available for lower cost, Man-in- the-Middle attacks will pose an increasingly real threat to wireless network security. In this paper, a unified mathematical model is established to analyze Man-in-the-Middle attacks in diverse wireless networks. Then we use propositions and logical operations to analyze the relationships of the elements in the model formally. The model and the logical reasoning used in it can assess whether a given system is vulnerable to this type of attack. The defense model of removing the vulnerability is also presented.Keywords
