Based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), mobile wimax provides high speed Internet access to the subscribers within a coverage area of several kilometres in radius..This paper focus on different authentication protocols for Mobile Wimax. These protocols are different from other conventional authentication methods, those based on the mobility of Mobile stations. Security is a fundamental issue in M. Wimax. A lot of researcher proposed their work towards the security to make the M. Wimax secure. In this paper we investigate and present comparative study of existing security protocols over mobile wimax and discuss how they achieve better security against various types of security threats.
