5G-IPAKA: An Improved Primary Authentication and Key Agreement Protocol for 5G Networks

Cross-Layer Authentication Protocol Design for Ultra-Dense 5G HetNets

Creating a secure environment for communications is becoming a significantly challenging task in 5G Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets) given the stringent latency and high capacity requirements of 5G networks. This is particularly factual knowing that the infrastructure tends to be highly diversified especially with the continuous deployment of small cells. In fact, frequent handovers in these ce...

An Improved Authenticated Multiple-key Agreement Protocol

Error-Correcting Message Authentication for 5G

Message Authentication Codes (MACs) used in today’s wireless communication standards are not capable of correcting errors which may occur during transmission. If MAC verification fails, the message is typically discarded and a retransmission is requested. Re-transmissions waste energy and increase average packet latency. Excessive re-transmissions may lead to network congestion. In this paper, ...

3G Networks A solution to Improved Authentication and Key Agreement Protocol

With the development of mobile communication network, the requirements of mobile users for data services are higher and higher, which makes data service become more diversiform and various service providers appear on after the other. As a result, data services increasingly become the main service in mobile network. The Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is one of the new ‘third g...

Ironwood Meta Key Agreement and Authentication Protocol

Number theoretic public key solutions are subject to various quantum attacks making them less attractive for longer term use. Certain group theoretic constructs show promise in providing quantum-resistant cryptographic primitives. We introduce a new protocol called a Meta Key Agreement and Authentication Protocol (MKAAP) that has some characteristics of a public key solution and some of a share...
