Abstract: Subscriber and network mutual authentication in mobile systems is a process by which mobile network gains confidence about the identity of the communicating subscriber and subscriber verified that he is communicating with correct network. Authentication in mobile systems is a challenge issue due to swift growth of wireless traffic with increasing security threats and attacks in mobile systems. 4G mobile communications system has brought for the high speedy data communications network by packet switching technology for networking transmission through SGSN servers. In this paper, we propose a mutual authentication technique that verifies the authenticity of the subscriber as well as the network by subscriber password in 4G mobile system. We focus on the advantages of our proposed technique, termed as password based mutual authentication technique.ax
