Abstract

The 3G cellular access security architectures do not provide satisfactorily user privacy and fail to fully include all three principal entities involved in the security context. In this paper we propose a beyond-3G Privacy Enhanced 3-Way Authentication and Key Agreement (PE3WAKA) protocol that provides substantially improved user privacy and a 3-way security context. By integrating selected Mobility Management procedures and the PE3WAKA protocol this is achieved with fewer round-trips than the 3G equivalent.
