Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) is a novel edge computing paradigm that enhances the access level capacity of mobile networks by shifting the serviceable Data center infrastructure proximate to the end devices. With this proximate placement and service provisioning, migration of a service from one edge enabled gNodeB (gNB) to another is intrinsic to maintain the […]

One of the primary authentication mechanisms defined for the 5G system is the 5G-Authentication and Key Agreement (5G-AKA) protocol. It is set to be used in the next generation of mobile communications but has several serious flaws such as privacy issues, vulnerability to traceability attacks, and has de-synchronization problem. To deal with these issues, An Braeken presented […]

The next generation of mobile communication systems must be secured because of the ongoing entrance of numerous security attacks. Thus, to secure the underlying network, the 3GPP has designed an authentication and key agreement protocol, 5GAKA, to safely and stably access the mobile services. However, some recent observations indicate that 5G-AKA has numerous shortcomings such […]

In a world with “things” and devices interconnected at every level, from wearables to home and building automation, to smart cities and infrastructure, to smart industries, and to smart everything, the Internet of Things (IoT) security plays a centric role with no margin for error or shortage on supply. Securing, including the authentication of these […]
