It is well known that the Sixth Generation (6G) communication system integrating multiple access networks promotes the internet of everything world-widely. However, due to the differentiated underlying network protocols, it is difficult to find a general authentication solution to support various authentication methods in different access networks. Blockchain is a new technology that supports network heterogeneity, which provides a potential solution for differentiated authentication. In this paper, we propose a blockchain-based differentiated authentication mechanism for 6G Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets), which can efficiently authenticate user identities through scheduling different authentication methods. Particularly, we analyze the authentication architecture of 6G HetNets and put forward a blockchain-based differentiated authentication framework. Besides, to improve the scalability of user authentication, it is the first time to use various blockchain authentication contracts to represent different authentication methods. Meanwhile, a differentiated authentication management contract is proposed to uniformly manage different authentication contracts to realize differentiated identity authentication. Based on the evaluation of the prototype system, the proposed mechanism can dynamically provide differentiated authentication services (e.g. EAP-MD5, 5G-AKA) with low additional time (milliseconds levels) cost.

“…To evaluate the performance of the proposed WPUB-BCP protocol, we deploy the specific control methods in each module (SA and SC). In our previous work [30], an authentication method based on EAP-MD5 is proposed for fast authenticate. erefore, in the IAM module, we use the same authentication method to represent the trusted authentication protocol f, so as to ensure the trusted user identity.…”

The access of massive users and devices in the 6G networks increases the risk of network attacks. Designing a trusted protocol to control user behavior can effectively improve the security capability of the network. However, most of the existing trusted protocols focus on unilateral user behavior and lack effective control over the whole process of user behavior. In this paper, we design a blockchain-enabled trusted protocol based on the whole-process user behavior. At first, we describe the Whole-Process User Behavior (WPUB) after the user accesses the network, and model the whole-process trusted control process. The proposed model establishes a trusted chain between user identity, access action, and communication traffic, and realizes the control of WPUB. Then, based on the proposed model, we design a whole-process trusted protocol with smart agents and smart contracts in combination with blockchain. Finally, we evaluate the designed protocol in the HyperLedger Fabric-based prototype system. Evaluations show that the proposed protocol can control the WPUB and reduce the risk of the network being attacked.
