  • Abstract
    The mutual authentication mechanism in the IEEE802.16e can avoid the man-in-middle attack, and can protect the multi-hop WiMax security in efficiency. An improved X.509 certificate based on ECC algorithm is designed, then an enhanced mutual authentication flow was proposed in this paper, which enhances the security and working efficiency of the mutual authentication in multi-hop WiMax system. The proposed scheme heightens the security and practicability of WiMax system, which has better referenced value to the improvement of IEEE 802.16e standards.
