Abstract :
Broadband wireless access security becomes more complicated when wireless devices are added to the network. Threats are ranked according to the level of risk they present. Authentication in WiMax (IEEE 802.16) will be examined using different protocols. This paper reflects to most recent work of the IEEE and WiMax forums and it can be used to prioritize future research directions in Wireless security.
