Abstract

Authentication and billing for mobile users are primary research area on many commercial wireless mobile networks such as cellular networks, wireless LAN, wireless mesh networks and so on. However there are drawbacks on the conventional approach of roaming and billing. In this paper, we propose an approach of mutual authentication and fair billing for roaming service in wireless mobile networks. Our proposed scheme provides a trustworthy billing as well as secure mutual authentication between users and service providers.
