The Enhanced EAP Authentication Protocol for Devices in Power LTE Private Network

Abstract

This paper analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the existing 3GPP WLAN-4G converged network access authentication protocol EAP-AKA. Aiming at the design of power private network, this paper introduces the WAPI certificate authentication mechanism and designs an access authentication protocol WEAP. The proposed WLAN4G interconnection structure model and access authentication mechanism in this paper solve the problem of unified access authentication for WLAN terminals in a converged networking environment. Analysis and simulation results show that compared with the original WAPI authentication protocol, WAPI-XG1, the proposed protocol has higher security and execution efficiency.
