Abstract

In this paper we present a solution for reducing the time spent on providing network access in mobile networks which involve an authentication process based on the Extensible Authentication Protocol. The goal is to provide fast handover and smooth transition by reducing the impact of authentication processes when mobile user changes of authenticator. We propose and describe an architecture based on a secure 3-party key distribution protocol which reduces the number of roundtrips during authentication phase, and verify its secure properties with a formal tool.
