Abstract：IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard’s PKMv2 protocol is an important secure guarantee for WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) wireless network. In this paper, based on Protocol Composition Logic (PCL), the PKMv2 authentication protocol’s security is analyzed, the interleaving attack is found, and a new authentication protocol is proposed by using the Protocol Derivation System (PDS) in WiMAX wireless network based on the vulnerability of system security, finally a formal correctness and security proof of it is presented with Protocol Composition Logic (PCL). This new protocol is more secure than the PKMv2 security authentication protocol, and more suitable for complicated wireless network application environment used in WiMAX.
