Nist Sp 800 127 Guide To Securing Wimax Wireless Communications

WiMAX technology is a wireless metropolitan area network (WMAN) communications technology that is largely based on the wireless interface defined in the IEEE 802.16 standard. The industry trade association, the WiMAX Forum, coined the WiMAX trademark and defines the precise content and scope of WiMAX technology through technical specifications that it creates and publishes.2 The original purpose of IEEE 802.16 technology was to provide last-mile broadband wireless access as an alternative to cable, digital subscriber line-, or T1 service. Developments in the IEEE 802.16 standard shifted the technology's focus toward a more cellular-like, mobile architecture to serve a broader market. Today, WiMAX technology continues to adapt to market demands and provide enhanced user mobility. This document discusses WiMAX wireless communication topologies, components, certifications, security features, and related security concerns.

The purpose of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-127, Guide to Securing WiMAX Wireless Communications, is to provide information to organizations regarding the security capabilities of wireless communications using WiMAX networks and to provide recommendations on using these capabilities. WiMAX technology is a wireless metropolitan area network (WMAN) technology based upon the IEEE 802.16 standard. It is used for a variety of purposes, including, but not limited to, fixed last-mile broadband access, long-range wireless backhaul, and access layer technology for mobile wireless subscribers operating on telecommunications networks.~
