Security issues for wireless ATM networks

To be able to fulfil the need of the wireless ATM user, the system has to acquire features. One of the system features required for the wireless ATM is functionality, especially the security aspect. There is so far little, or no, security consideration in the development of the wireless ATM standard. Therefore a wide range of features in the security functions are under consideration. This paper defines the security features in wireless ATM networks considering those features existing in the fixed and wireless networks. It does not attempt to define the cryptographic system, but rather provide a template in making a cryptographic system for those required features
