EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is often used as an authentication framework for two-party protocol which supports multiple authentication algorithms known as "EAP method". And PKMv2 in 802.16e networks use EAP as an authentication protocol. However, this framework is not efficient when the EAP peer executing handover. The reason is that the EAP peer and EAP server should re-run EAP method each time so that they authenticate each other for secure handover. This makes some delays, so faster re-authentication method is needed. In this paper, we propose a new design of the PKMv2 framework which provides fast re-authentication. This new framework and usage of the keys which used as a short-term credential bring better performance during handover process.
