How does the WiMAX privacy sublayer provide security for a WiMAX network?

What will be an ideal response?


The privacy sublayer provides a client/server authentication and key management protocol, with the BS controlling the distribution of security keys to the SSs. In addition, the standard encrypts all the data transmitted between the BS and SSs and makes use of digital certificates, which are messages digitally signed by a certification authority, as well as public-key infrastructure embedded in the BS, to ensure privacy and protection against information theft. Manufacturers install a unique digital certificate, which includes a serial number in every device. The digital certificates can be verified with the manufacturer as being valid and unique by sending a copy of the certificate encrypted with the manufacturer's public key over the Internet.
