Secure access of communication networks has become an increasingly important
area of consideration for the communication service providers of present day.
Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) networks are proving to be an efficient and
cost effective solution for the provisioning of high rate wireless traffic
links in static and mobile domains. The secure access of these networks is
necessary to ensure their superior operation and revenue efficacy. Although
authentication process is a key to secure access in BWA networks, the breaches
present in them limit the networks performance.
