Abstract

The security of the current 3G wireless protocols addresses the problems faced by the 2G systems, in addition to fulfilling the higher 3G security requirements mandated from operating in IP networks as well as voice networks. However, the approach adopted by the two most popular 3G mobile system forerunners, UMTS and cdma2000, leaves many areas for improvement. In this paper, we improve the security of the 3G protocols in network access by providing strong periodically mutual authentication, strong key agreement, and non-repudiation service in a simple and elegant way.
