Review
“…serves to provide planners and researchers in both academic andprofessional capacities a way in which to completely access pertinentdata in a logical and clearly defined manner.” (Electric Review, September/October 2006)
Product Description
AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) describes a frameworkfor intelligently controlling access to network resources, enforcingpolicies, and providing the information necessary to bill for services.
AAA and Network Security for Mobile Access is an invaluableguide to the AAA concepts and framework, including its protocolsDiameter and Radius.  The authors give an overview of established andemerging standards for the provision of secure network access formobile users while providing the basic design concepts and motivations.
AAA and Network Security for Mobile Access:

• Covers trust, i.e., authentication and security key management forfixed and mobile users, and various approaches to trust establishment.
• Discusses public key infrastructures and provides practical tips on certificates management.
• Introduces Diameter, a state-of-the-art AAA protocol designed tomeet today’s reliability, security and robustness requirements, andexamines Diameter-Mobile IP interactions.
• Explains RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Services) and its latest extensions.
• Details EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) in-depth, giving aprotocol overview, and covering EAP-XXX authentication methods as wellas use of EAP in 802 networks.
• Describes IP mobility protocols including IP level mobilitymanagement, its security and optimizations, and latest IETF seamlessmobility protocols.
• Includes a chapter describing the details of Mobile IP and AAAinteraction, illustrating Diameter Mobile IP applications and theprocess used in CDMA2000.
• Contains a section on security and AAA issues to support roaming,discussing a variety of options for operator co-existence, including anoverview of Liberty Alliance.

This text will provide researchers in academia and industry, networksecurity engineers, managers, developers and planners, as well asgraduate students, with an accessible explanation of the standardsfundamental to secure mobile access.
