چکیده
In today's era of communication where wireless media is replacing wired media, security is of utmost concern. The WiMAX technology was developed after the analysis of security failures in IEEE 802.11 technology. As WiMAX has a very high coverage area, security becomes one of the most important issues. Both mobile and fixed WiMAX has many striking features like connection-oriented MAC layer, prerequisite QoS for different applications, efficient mobility, and power-saving features. Needless to say, all these striking features must be protected against malevolent actions by security mechanisms. This paper focuses on discussing security vulnerabilities in WiMAX networks and addressing them by using required security mechanisms
