Abstract :
The importance of IEEE-standard 802.16 WiMAX is growing and will compete with technologies such as UMTS. However, acceptance and adoption of technologies and services also depend on security. Therefore, this article will deal with some of the basic security features of WiMAX. It will summarize the most important elements of the WiMAX security architecture, present some of its weaknesses, potential attacks and viable counter measurements.
