Abstract

The Global System for mobile communication (GSM) is widely used for mobile communication where the mobile users can make and receive call when they are moving independent of time, location, and network access. The wireless mobile systems are more vulnerable to deceitful access and eaves dropping. Though the authentication process on GSM is giving a reasonable security level but have some drawbacks such as: 1. overloading the network traffic and increasing the call set up time 2. Not support the mutual authentication 3. Storage overhead of visitor location registers (VLR) 4. Overload on home location registers (HLR) with authentication of mobile station. There are many protocol already proposed to overcome the above drawback but they can not overcome all the point. In this paper we are going to propose a authentication to overcome the drawback of GSM security process by using the combination the symmetric and asymmetric key cryptographic method.
