WiMax Forum Taps VeriSign For Wireless Security


The WiMax Forum, the organisation driving the development, standardisation and adoption of WiMax technology, has picked VeriSign's Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to provide security for the wireless broadband technology.

The Forum is seeking to ensure secure communication over WiMax-based networks through mutual authentication of devicesand servers using X.509 standard digital certificates.



The decision means that VeriSign is now the only independent PKI provider authorised to deliver services to both WiMax service providers and device manufacturers.
