Abstract

Nowadays, usage of mobile unit which has a characteristic of low cost and high efficiency is being generalized because of frequent use of internet-based variable service and application in IEEE 802.16 WiMAX. A study for handling a security problem of high speed internet service is rising while the use of a mobile is being generalized. This paper suggests a security mechanism which provides safety from certification load of SS and a security attack as well as a basic function which is provided from IEEE 802.16e standard to satisfy security demand of IEEE802.16 WiMAX. The proposed mechanism exchangeskey material information for TEK and data code by using 난수(?) and secret value created by SS and BS, also reduces capacity load of BS not to perform an additional certificate procedure of BS by using the early certification information and certificate of SS.

최근 IEEE 802.16 WiMAX에서는 인터넷 기반의 다양한 서비스와 애플리케이션의 빈번한 사용으로 인하여 저비용, 고효율의 특성을 가지는 이동 단말기의 사용이 일반화되고 있다. 이동 단말기의 사용이 일반화되면서 고속 인터넷 서비스의 보안 문제를 해결하기 위한 연구가 IEEE 802.16e 표준을 중심으로 연구되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 IEEE 802.16 WiMAX의 보안 요구사항을 충족하기 위해 IEEE 802.16e 표준에서 제공하는 기본 기능이외에 SS의 인증부하 및 보안공격(reply 공격과 man-in-the-middle 공격)에 안전한 보안 메커니즘을 제안한다. 제안된 메커니즘은 SS와 BS가 생성한 난수와 비밀값을 이용하여 TEK과 데이터 암호에 필요한 키 정보를 교환한다. 또한 SS의 초기 인증정보와 인증서를 이용하여 BS의 추가 인증 과정을 수행하지 않도록 하여 BS의 성능 부하를 줄인다.
