Abstract
With emerging wireless technologies, ensuring security is challenging due to limited energy availability in the wireless devices. As WiMAX-based wireless access has been one of the base technologies in IoT and next-generation technologies, access and authentication, which are the major concerns for consumers and buyers of these wireless technologies, need to be addressed. In this paper, energy-efficient generalized digital certificate (GDC)-based mutual authentication protocol is proposed. The efficiency of the proposed work in defending attacks such as man-in-the-middle attack and rogue base station problem is analyzed. The analysis on energy efficiency of the proposed work is found to be quite appealing, compared to existing mutual authentication procedures in WiMAX.
