Security aspect of IS 95
CAVE (cellular authentication and voice encyrption) algorithm is used .
Uses a 64 bit A-key along with ESN and Random number to generate 128 bit shared secret data (SSD) • SSD is divided into two 64 bit blocks – (A for authentication, B for encryption)
Challenge/Response technique for Authentication .
Random number is used to create key for encryption of voice and data

Mobile Switching Centre- (MSC): The MSC co-ordinates the activities of all the base stations and connects the entire cellular system to the PSTN. A typical MSC handles 100,000 cellular subscribers and 5,000 simultaneous conversations at a time, and accommodates all billing and system maintenance functions as well. Communication between the BS and mobiles is defined by a standard Common Air Interface (CAI) that specifies four different channels.
Base Station-BS- The base station is installed for every cell. It communicates with all the mobile stations existing in its cell. The BS Communicates with the mobile switching center (MSC).
