Abstract
Systems and methods are described for improved authentication of subscribers wishing to connect to a wireless network using the EAP-AKA protocol. Embodiments exploit the requirement that the client store and transmit the Pseudonym and Fast Re-authentication Identities upon request. By using the Fast Re-authentication Identity to store session state key information, the need for the AAA server to store and replicate the EAP-AKA key information for every session is eliminated.
