Abstract
A wireless communications system comprises a sector controller that includes a wireless transmitter, and a mobile subscriber station that includes a wireless receiver, and a memory. The wireless transmitter continuously transmitting frames. Each frame comprising a control field and the control field comprising a portion of an encryption certificate associated with the sector controller. The wireless receiver receives each frame and extracts the portion of the encryption certificate and stores the portion of an encryption certificate in the memory. The mobile subscriber station combines the portions of the encryption certificate stored in the memory and verifies that a complete encryption certificate has been received. After this the mobile subscriber station transmits its encryption certificate to the sector controller. The encryption certificates are based on an elliptic curve digital signature algorithm.
