The WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for microwave Access) is a wireless radio data transmission technology based on the IEEE 802.16 designed to ensure Broadband Wireless Access (BWA). This paper considers the problem of detecting rogue base station in WiMAX/802.16 networks. A rogue base station is an attacker station that duplicates a legitimate base station. The rogue base station puzzles a set of subscribers who try to get service, which they believe to be a legitimate base station. It may lead to disturbance in service. The strategy of attack depends on the type of network. The described paper is showing a solution to detect rouge base detection and mutual authentication. The solution is done through three parts. The first part is able to provide rouge based detection through sensitivity algorithm. The second phase is able to provide authentication through Extensible Authentication protocol-Transport Layer Security. The third part is carrying SAI algorithm to over-come DDoS attacks. This paper describes the rouge base station detection as well as authentication of mobile nodes. The DDoS detection is enhanced to provide a better solution.
