Abstract:

Home Node B(HNB) is a key point in the system of wireless communication. We focus on the security of the HNB system, especially the authentication protocol based on certificates. We analyze the disadvantages of the original protocol and propose a new protocol without certificates to simplify the process of mutual authentication. We also give an analysis of the security of the new protocol.

Key words: Home Node B, security, certificate, international mobile subscriber identity(IMSI)
