Abstract

In this Paper, we present a novel authentication and key exchange(AKE) protocol for inter-NSP(provider) roaming in IEEE 802.16e networks. The proposed protocol allows performing both user and device authentication jointly by using two different authentication credentials and Provides user anonymity and session key establishment. Also, this protocol requires only two round number message exchange between foreign network and home network.

본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.16e 네트워크에서 통신 사업자간 로밍을 위한 새로운 인증 및 키 설정(AKE: Authentication and Key Establishment) 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안된 프로토콜은 두 개의 다른 인증 credentials를 사용하여 사용자(user) 및 단말(device) 인증을 함께 수행하며 사용자 익명성과 키 설정을 제공한다. 또한, 제안된 프로토콜에서 홈 네트워크(Home Network: HN)와 외부 네트워크(Foreign Network: FN) 사이의 메시지 교화 횟수는 단지 2 라운드(round) 수가 필요하다.
