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:
“Make thick my blood,
Stop up th access and passage to remorse,
That no compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my fell purpose.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
