Authentication Authentication
Authentication is a process of exchanging information between a communications device (typically a user device such as a mobile phone or computing device) and a communications network that allows the carrier or network operator to confirm the true identity of the user (or device). This validation of the authenticity of the user or device allows a service provider to deny service to users that cannot be identified. Thus, authentication inhibits fraudulent use of a communication device that does not contain the proper identification information.

Basic Authentication Process
This figure shows the operation of a basic authentication process used in a radio communication system. As part of a typical authentication process, a random number that changes periodically (RAND) is sent from the base station. This number is regularly received and temporarily stored by the mobile radio. The random number is then processed with the shared secret data that has been previously stored in the mobile radio along with other information in the subscriber to create an authentication response (AUTHR). The authentication response is sent back to the system to validate the mobile radio. The system processes the same information to create its own authentication response. If both the authentication responses match, service may be provided. This process avoids sending any secret information over the radio communication channel.
