2 WIRELESS NETWORKING CONCEPTSAnswer 1WiMax or worldwide interoperability for microwave access is a standard for wirelesscommunication based on IEEE 802.16 protocols. It is generally used for providing high-speedinternet connection in wide area network. Therefore ensuring security of WiMax becomesessential. Encryption is one important security protocol used for WiMax technology. The processof converting a plain text or readable data with the help of certain standard algorithm is known asencryption. Out of the three various encryption standard used for securing the data in WiMaxnetwork, the most common encryption standard that are used in WiMax includes triple DES,AES and CCMP (Biham & Shamir, 2012). Triple DES, AES and CCMP encryption standards are compared in the following table-3DESAESCCMP3DES algorithm ortriple DES is asymmetric encryptionstandard that uses threekeys, each of length56bit for dataencryption in WiMaxnetworks (Singh,2013). The security level in3DES is enhanced dueto the involvement ofthe three-phasedencryption. 3DESencryption runs thetraditional DESalgorithm on a datathree times thusensuring extra layer ofprotectionSince a singlealgorithm is run threetimes in a data, theAdvanced encryptionstandard or AES is aadvanced version of3DES and uses 128,192 and 256 bit keysfor standard encryption(Karthik&Muruganandam,2014).It is a symmetric blockcipher that is mostcommonly used inWiMax networks.The performance ofAES is much fastercompared to that of3DES but needs adedicated processor forit implementation(Daemen & Rijmen,2013). AES is therefore,somewhat more costlyCounter mode ciphermessage authenticationprotocol or CCMP isone of the mostcommon encryptionalgorithms used forwireless networks.It is one of the mosteffective algorithmsfor WiMax networksas well.Like AES, CCMp alsouses 128 bit key forencryption of data inWiMax network.CCMP is derived fromAES and providesenhanced securityusing128-bitencryption.A 48-bit initializationvector initiates theencryption algorithm
