Appendix A WiMAX Security

WiMAX Device Configuration User’s Guide

•

Authorization request and reply

The MS/SS presents its public certificate to the base station. The base station verifies the

certificate and sends an authentication key (AK) to the MS/SS.

•

Key request and reply

The MS/SS requests a transport encryption key (TEK) which the base station generates and

encrypts using the authentication key.

•

Encrypted traffic

The MS/SS decrypts the TEK (using the authentication key). Both stations can now securely

encrypt and decrypt the data flow.

CCMP

All traffic in a WiMAX network is encrypted using CCMP (Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining

Message Authentication Protocol). CCMP is based on the 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard

(AES) algorithm.

‘Counter mode’ refers to the encryption of each block of plain text with an arbitrary number, known

as the counter. This number changes each time a block of plain text is encrypted. Counter mode

avoids the security weakness of repeated identical blocks of encrypted text that makes encrypted

data vulnerable to pattern-spotting.

‘Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication’ (also known as CBC-MAC) ensures message

integrity by encrypting each block of plain text in such a way that its encryption is dependent on the

block before it. This series of ‘chained’ blocks creates a message authentication code (MAC or

CMAC) that ensures the encrypted data has not been tampered with.

Authentication

The WiMAX Device supports EAP-TTLS authentication.

EAP-TTLS (Tunneled Transport Layer Service)

EAP-TTLS is an extension of the EAP-TLS authentication that uses certificates for only the server-

side authentications to establish a secure connection (with EAP-TLS digital certifications are needed

by both the server and the wireless clients for mutual authentication). Client authentication is then

done by sending username and password through the secure connection, thus client identity is

protected. For client authentication, EAP-TTLS supports EAP methods and legacy authentication

methods such as PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAP v2.
