Strong Password Based EAP-TLS Authentication Protocol for WiMAX

Journal Title: International Journal on Computer Science and Engineering - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 8

Abstract

Security becomes more important in wireless network due to lack of physical boundary. Worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) is a wireless communications technology, also known as IEEE802.16 that is intended for wireless “metropolitan area network”. IEEE802.16e (WiMAX amendment) is a standard for mobile application in WiMAX. IEEE 802.16e supports EAP (Extensible authentication rotocol) for authentication. EAP-TLS which is a recommendation of IEEE802.16e provides strongest security but is inefficient and costly due to use of PKI to handle the certificate. This paper proposed a strong password based EAP-TLS authentication protocol which uses simple common password for mutual authentication in place of certificate and hence reduces the problem associated with EAP-TLS and satisfy the entire requirement for IEEE 802.16e authentication.
