As one of the key technologies of fifth-generation mobile communication, device-to-device communication technology can not only realize direct communication between neighboring devices, but also reduce the delay of local services provided to users and increase the communication rate. Nevertheless, the special structure of the device-to-device communication network makes it more vulnerable to attacks from inside and outside the network. This paper summarizes the security issues faced by device-to-device communication networks, analysis the secure routing designed for different types of attacks, and discusses future research directions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
