Now a day’s WiMAX is largely deployed by developed as well as developing countries to access Broadband Wireless. WiMAX deliver its
services on high speed to the user without disconnectivity .IEEE 802.11 security issues has been taken in the account to design Privacy
and key management protocol of IEEE 802.16. After major improvement in Privacy and Key Management protocol, PKM version 2
emerges in the market, but still several flaws exist in the Module. This paper is going to introduce threats in PKMv2 and critical Security
issues that are needed to be rectified in Future
