Based on thorough researches on the Chinese wireless local area network （WLAN） security standard, i. e., WLAN authentication and privacy infrastructure （WAPI）, the security of the authentication access process is analyzed with the CK （Canetti-Krawczyk） model and the BAN （Burrows-Abadi- Needham） logic. Results show that it can achieve the alleged authentication and key negotiation goals. Besides those alleged, further analyses indicate that the authentication access process can satisfy other security requirements, such as mutual identity authentication, mutual key control, key confirmation, message integrity check, etc. If the used elliptic curve encryption algorithm and the hash algorithm are secure enough, the protocol can efficiently realize mutual authentication between STAs （station） and APs （access point）. Therefore, WAPI can be applied to replace the security mechanism used in the original WLAN international standard to enhance its security.

To resist the side chaimel attacks of elliptic curve cryptography, a new fast and secure point multiplication algorithm is proposed. The algorithm is based on a particular kind of addition chains involving only additions, providing a natural protection against side channel attacks. Moreover, the new addition formulae that take into account the specific structure of those chains making point multiplication very efficient are proposed. The point multiplication algorithm only needs 1 719 multiplications for the SAC260 of 160-bit integers. For chains of length from 280 to 260, the proposed method outperforms all the previous methods with a gain of 26% to 31% over double-and add, 16% to22% over NAF, 7% to 13% over4-NAF and 1% to 8% over the present best algorithm--double-base chain.
