摘要

Methods and systems are provided for secure switching of a roaming wireless
terminal. The system includes a network having a first access point for
communicating with the wireless terminal, and a second access point for
communicating. The first access point also generates a first authentication
information with the wireless terminal and connects the wireless terminal with
the network upon authentication of the wireless terminal based on the first
authentication information. The first access point also transmits the first
authentication information to the second access point via the network upon
authentication of the wireless terminal. The second access point also connects
the wireless terminal with the network using the first authentication
information.
