N2 - In this paper, we first give an overview of security architecture of mobile WiMAX network. Then, we investigate man-in-the-middle attacks and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks toward 802.16e-based Mobile WiMAX network We find the initial network procedure is not effectively secured that makes Man-in-the-middle and Dos attacks possible. In addition, we find the resource saving and handover procedure is not secured enough to resist DoS attacks. Focusing on these two kinds of attacks, we propose Secure Initial Network Entry Protocol (SINEP) based on Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange protocol to enhance the security level during network initial. We modify DH key exchange protocol to fit it into mobile WiMAX network as well as to eliminate existing weakness in original DH key exchange protocol.
