English Abstract
One of the considerable difficulty facing the mobile networking is security.
Thus, a secure and an efficient authentication scheme is required for mobile communication systems.
The authentication protocol encounters overheads on the transmission process.
These overheads influence the mobile network performance such as delay and bandwidth.
The main objective of this thesis is to improve authentication scheme in mobile networks by generating a complete solution for the authentication scheme in mobile networks to enhance the security level and to improve the efficiency.
The analytical result and a simulation program were employed in this thesis, to consider the existing and proposed methods for authentication scheme in mobile networks.
An improvement authentication scheme is proposed for reducing the number of messages between authentication users in the network.
Therefore, the bottleneck at the authentication centre is avoided by reducing the number of messages between mobile station and the authentication centre.
As a result , the authentication time delay, call setup time, signaling traffic and the number of transmissions between the home network and visited networks for roaming authentication are minimized.
Also, the proposed scheme was considered to be secure against network attacks.
