Abstract

802.16 standard, called WirelessMAN, providing a new perspective in accessing high speed internet without depending on the network or modem cable. Year 2002 established a forum Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) which refers to the 802.16 standard and served menginterkoneksikan various technical standards that are global to a single unit. WiMAX technology is more expensive than other broadband technologies like Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)

Security aspect is very important for broadband technology in accessing information from the Internet. Is discussed in the writing hand security systems found on WirelessMAN technology based on 802.16 standard specifications.

IEEE 802.16 standards provide internet access to the metropolitan area with only establish some base station (BS) is able to coverage of millions of subscribers (SS). WiMAX technology is the solution for the city or rural areas that have not developed in the provision of internet access. Encryption data used in the form of data encryption standard (DES) and authentication on each client / subscriber station (SS) is very good with X.509 certificates are unique, powerful and reliable toughness.

Keywords: IEEE 802.16 / WirelessMAN / (WiMAX), wireless, security, broadband, subscriber station (SS), the base station (BS), DES, MAC and PHY.
