Local Authentication in WiMAX
Overview The IEEE 802.16 standard Privacy and Key Management (PKM) protocol suffers from a number of performance and security concerns which make it unsuitable for use in a WiMAX network operating in Mesh Mode. Reliance on centralized base stations to perform node authentication creates a bottleneck that could be avoided completely through the addition of local authentication mechanisms. After careful review and study of a number of existing local authentication schemes, proposed modifications to the PKM protocol are made which incorporates a Threshold RSA authentication scheme to achieve local authentication as well as enhanced security and robustness.
