{{Short description|Form of technical authentication for mobile devices}}
'''Access Authentication in CDMA networks''' for [[Engineering:Telecommunication|telecommunication]]s and [[Computing|computing]] provide network access for a mobile device. Specific methods such as CAVE-based Authentication (IS-95/1xRTT), and [[Engineering:A12 Authentication|A12 Authentication]] (1xEV-DO) are possible. The serving network provides the mobile device access authentication mechanism.

The exact method employed depends upon the type of service being used:
*'''CAVE-based Authentication''' – Used for access authentication in CDMA/1xRTT
*'''[[Authentication and Key Agreement|AKA]]''' – 3G successor to CAVE-based authentication
*'''[[Engineering:A12 Authentication|A12 Authentication]]''' – Used for access authentication in 1xEV-DO

1xEV-DO Hybrid MS/AT devices may employ both CAVE-based and A12 authentication since these devices connect to both the 1xRTT and 1xEV-DO networks.
