Access Authentication in CDMA networks
a.k.a. CAVE-based Authentication (IS-95/1xRTT), A12 Authentication (1xEV-DO)
Authentication of a mobile device by the serving access network. The access authentication mechanism employed depends upon the type of service being used:
- CAVE-based Authentication – Used for access authentication in CDMA/1xRTT
- AKA – 3G successor to CAVE-based authentication
- A12 Authentication – Used for access authentication in 1xEV-DO
Note that 1xEV-DO Hybrid MS/AT devices may employ both CAVE-based and A12 authentication since these devices connect to both the 1xRTT and 1xEV-DO networks.
Famous quotes containing the word access:
“Knowledge in the form of an informational commodity indispensable to productive power is already, and will continue to be, a major—perhaps the major—stake in the worldwide competition for power. It is conceivable that the nation-states will one day fight for control of information, just as they battled in the past for control over territory, and afterwards for control over access to and exploitation of raw materials and cheap labor.”
—Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)
