Performance Analysis of Secured Privacy and Key Management Protocol in IEEE 802-16e-2005

Security is always the core focus for the researchers. Mobile WiMAX (World wide interoperability for Microwave Access) comes in 2005 and currently adopted by many organizations for broadband access. In this paper different security aspects for Mobile WiMAX or IEEE 802.16e-2005 has been analyzed. Numerous and diverse attacks related to authorization key distribution are a direct consequence of the existing susceptibilities in IEEE802.16e-2005. So security enhancement against these attacks and provision of proper authentication to SS (Subscriber Station) is the foremost necessity in mobile network. OMNET++ simulator is used to simulate and verify the proposed solution. The scenario is verified against different attacks and shows the results in scalar and vector output graphs. The results show the proposed solution's suitability against prone environment.
