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:
“The nature of women’s oppression is unique: women are oppressed as women, regardless of class or race; some women have access to significant wealth, but that wealth does not signify power; women are to be found everywhere, but own or control no appreciable territory; women live with those who oppress them, sleep with them, have their children—we are tangled, hopelessly it seems, in the gut of the machinery and way of life which is ruinous to us.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
