Abstract

Mobility is an inherent characteristic of cellular systems, and subscriber location is an essential attribute at the access link level. The system must know both user identity and location in order to forward calls/data to the user. The system is required to protect user identity and location data from eavesdropping. The system should also provide location/identity privacy with respect to the system entities. This paper presents a privacy preserving 3-way authentication and key agreement (PP3WAKA) protocol that archives this goal.
