CAVE-based authentication

CAVE-based authentication is a security protocol used to verify access in CDMA2000 1X, a type of third-generation (3G) mobile network system.

[1] This system helps to confirm that a user is authorized to connect to the mobile network.

In CAVE-based authentication, two main components work together when a user is roaming on a mobile network: This system ensures that users can be securely authenticated even when they are using networks outside their home area.

CAVE-based authentication procedures are outlined in the TIA-41 standard, which is part of the specifications created by 3GPP2 (3rd Generation Partnership Project 2).

These procedures explain how mobile phones and networks verify each other in CDMA-based systems, ensuring secure communication.
