“…Wireless broadband technologies can provide ubiquitous access to MTC devices, particularly, interworking between 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) and the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) for MTC is attractive [5], [6], [7], [8]. When a group of MTC devices roam from 3GPP network to WiMAX network which belongs to different operator domains, or vice versa, the access authentication must be performed by the corresponding access networks which are regulated by their respective home authentication servers.…”

“…When a group of MTC devices roam from 3GPP network to WiMAX network which belongs to different operator domains, or vice versa, the access authentication must be performed by the corresponding access networks which are regulated by their respective home authentication servers. Numerous authentication protocols dedicated for 3GPP-WLAN or WiMAX-WLAN interworking architecture have been proposed, such as [5], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]. However, there is few research work dealing with authentication issues for 3GPP-WiMAX interworking architecture; moreover, most of the existing protocols are based on symmetric cryptosystem (e.g., EAP-based authentication and key agreement).…”

With extensive promising applications, machine to machine (M2M) communications or machine-type communication (MTC) have attached a tremendous interest among mobile network operators and research groups. Supporting multiple MTC devices has been considered as an essential requirement in M2M communications. How to achieve a secure and efficient access authentication for a group of MTC devices during roaming is a challenging issue. In this paper, in order to simultaneously resolve the access security and efficiency in MTC, we propose a secure and efficient group roaming scheme for MTC between 3GPP and WiMAX networks, named SEGR, which is characterized by authenticating all MTC devices in a group simultaneously and speeding up the process of authentication through adopting a novel certificateless aggregate signature technique. Through security analysis, the proposed SEGR can provide robust security, especially overcome the drawback of key escrow in identity-based (ID-based) aggregate signature schemes. In addition, performance evaluations in terms of communication overhead and computation complexity demonstrate that SEGR is more efficient than those traditional schemes.

“…The SC-based secure roaming schemes, e.g., EAP-based authentication and key agreement protocols [5], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31], are designed based on standard protocols [32], [33]. SC-based schemes are widely accepted because they are compatible with standard protocols.…”

Abstract-The roaming service enables mobile subscribers to access the Internet service anytime and anywhere, which can fulfill the requirement of ubiquitous access for the emerging paradigm of networking, e.g., the Internet of Things (IoT). In this paper, we propose a Conditional Privacy-preserving authentication with Access Linkability (CPAL) for roaming service, to provide universal secure roaming service and multi-level privacy preservation. CPAL provides an anonymous user linking function by utilizing a novel group signature technique, which can not only efficiently hide users' identities, but also enable the authorized entities to link all the access information of the same user without knowing the user's real identity. Specifically, by using the master linking key possessed by the trust linking server, the authorized foreign network operators or service providers can link the access information from the user to improve its service, while preserving user anonymity, e.g., using individual access information to analyze user preferences without revealing user's identity. Furthermore, the subscribers can also use this functionality to anonymously query their usage of service. In addition, CPAL has an efficient revocation function which revokes a group of users at the same time. Through extensive analysis, we demonstrate that CPAL resists various security threats, and provides more flexible privacy preservation compared to the existing schemes.Meanwhile, performance evaluations demonstrate its efficiency in terms of communication and computation overhead.

A New Handover Authentication Method for WiMAX Architecture

2014

The Initial Network Entry Authentication (INEA) process is the first security entry between client and WiMAX network. WiMAX architecture provides a significant flexibility to respect wireless security requirements. The INEA framework is based on the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) for user authentication and key management. However, EAP authentication method introduces high authentication delay and signaling cost when the user moves between stations. These impact negatively the handover process and decrease the Quality of Service of WiMAX networks. In this paper, we analyze the existing INEA authentication process and we propose a new authentication method and key agreement for handovers process. To prove the new method validity, the verification is performed by using the formal security analyzer Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications which is a performed tool to find automatically potential attacks in security protocols. Furthermore, the proposed protocol is compared with other handover protocols. The comparison shows that proposed protocol outperforms the other protocols.
