Building a Testbed with New Security Features for UCWW Research

The consumer-based techno-business model (CBM) serves as a basis for the new emerging ubiquitous consumer wireless world (UCWW). For it all authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) is handled by third-party AAA service providers (3P-AAA SPs). A possible architecture, a candidate signalling protocol and a functional model for 3P-AAA are considered in this paper. A testbed proposal for 3P-AAA, which contains embedded new security features, is set out. The approach towards simulation and development of this testbed so as to create a 3P-AAA prototype system is elaborated
