scope:

While the report addresses privacy and authentication needs for both personal and terminal mobility services, the primary emphasis on privacy and authentication requirements associated with wireless access services. This report recognizes the related needs for validation requirements and protection of other user data =, but does not address these needs.

Purpose: The purpose of this report is to propose and prioritize objectives for system design in the areas of privacy and authentication for personal communications services. The objectives are explained in the context of personal communications. The final section provides an indication of relative priority for each objective.

The objectives here apply only to the wireless access portion of PCS, not to end-to-end encryption.
