Abstract
Privacy and Key management protocols (PKM) is used in WiMAX for providing authentication and key management. Basic PKM protocol provides one way authentication between SS and BS results many flaws. However, PKM protocol version 2 (PKMv2) solves the major security problems but new flaws have emerged. This paper analyzes the PKM protocol and its later versions using AVISPA which is a push button tool for the automated validation of security protocol. A secure authentication protocol has also been proposed and analyzed, results show that proposed protocol does not have any security flaws.
