Abstract

WiMAX networks provide broadband data access to mobile as well as stationary users. While the wireless link is based on the 802.16e-2005 specification developed by IEEE, a complete network architecture “behind the base station” with global roaming support has been specified by the WiMAX forum. The security architecture for these networks covers EAP/AAA-based secure network access, secure bootstrapping of macro mobility based on Mobile IP, and secure over-the-air provisioning. Specific solutions have been standardized to support combined or separate device and user authentication.
