Abstract

To overcome the shortages of security flaws and secret key management in the Authentication and Key Agreement(AKA) protocol for the third mobile communication system,an improved protocol was proposed.It employed Elliptic Curve Cryptography(ECC) and public key to harmonize session key and symmetric encipherment algorithm to encrypt messages.The protocol not only overcomes the existed deficiencies in the AKA including how to manage secret key,but is more applicable than the others for its simple operation and easy to use.
