RE: [802.21] Mutual authentication requirements in SSG

Title: Mutual authentication requirements in SSG

Michael: We actually were planning to use IS in 802.16 before the 802.16 full authentication, if now required we may loose the pre-authentication network entry flexibility.

Hi,

In the security study group, we discussed the need for MIHF level authentication.

There were a few topics in this area:

What do people see as serving as the basis for credentials for the MIHF?

Is it possible to reuse the network access authentication or MSTP transport authentication for the MIHF level?

Is mutual authentication always required, or is one way sufficient for some applications?

Is the need for authentication different between the four different services (management, ES, IS, CE)?

Comments? Proposed solutions?

Best Regards,
Michael
