“…1, a desynchronisation attack and a root key update requested by the UE are assumed to take place at τ 2 and τ 3 , respectively. 7 As a part of handover preparation, the UE performs measurements of the received signals from the neighboring eNodeBs and sends the measurement reports to the source eNodeB to identify the target cell(s) for handover [36]. During this phase, the uplink and downlink channels for LTE Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection establishment procedure are secured for sharing the measurement reports between the UE and eNodeB, controlling the key sharing, signalling of handover requests, and acknowledgement between eNodeBs.…”

“…Consequently, the attacker can either decipher the communications between a genuine eNodeB and a UE or compromise all future keys between specific UEs and eNodeBs for further active attacks. To prevent desynchronisation attacks, the authors of [7] proposed an approach with double authentication. However, both source and destination nodes are required to generate keys, which causes double signaling overhead.…”

Abstract-Handover process execution without active session termination is considered one of the most important attribute in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks. Unfortunately, this service always is suffered from the growing of security threats. In the Inter-eNB handover, an attacker may exploit these threats to violate the user privacy and desynchronize the handover entities. Therefore, the authentication is the main challenge in such issue. This paper proposes a synchronous authentication scheme to enhance the security level of key management during Inter-eNB handover process in LTE networks. The security analysis proves that the proposed scheme is secure against the current security drawbacks with perfect backward/forward secrecy. Furthermore, the performance analysis in terms of operations cost of authentication and bandwidth overhead demonstrates that the proposed scheme achieves high level of security with desirable efficiency.

“…The main shortage in this proposal is that limited types of data and files can be exchanged over clouds. Senthilkumar Mathi * and Lavanya Dharuman [14] are proposed scheme to overcome the desynchronization problem in 4G LTE network using Double Authentication technique. The scheme shows efficiency in terms of communication cost.…”

Security advances and challenges associated with 4G wireless technologies have been presented in this paper. The contribution of the paper in the area of 4G security represented in the study of data encryption issues and the potential threats and risks across the 4G networks. Another contribution was the study of the major cryptography methods in 4G networks. To enhance the data encryption process in the 4G networks, Elliptic curve cryptosystem (ECC) for data encryption algorithm is proposed. The Strength of the proposed ECC algorithm depends on the complexity of computing discrete logarithm in a large prime modulus. ECC needs a less storage space due to the shorter key length and faster arithmetic operations. These ECC advantages are important for mobile devices, because they are constrained devices. The evaluation focuses on: Key generation time and Encryption-Decryption time. Results show that the performance of ECC, in three area of evaluation, was better than the RSA algorithm which is used for comparison purpose.Keywords: 4G Networks, Data Encryption, Elliptic curve cryptography. I. INTRODUCTION'3G' and '4G' are the terminologies used in abundance in the market of mobiles and tablets, while they are one of the most ambiguous terms in the mobile technology dictionaries. The third generation or 3G is considered as a modern technology in the field of telecommunications, with minimum reliable Internet speeds of 384 Kbps, and 2 MB in HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) technology [1]. This technology provides some services were not available on the earlier generations, such as video calling and watch TV channels and other services via the mobile phone. The fourth generation or 4G is wireless mobile telecommunications technology, succeeding 3G. The first improvement that offered by 4G networks is the speed, this new technology is will providing data transfer speed faster by 4 to 10 times [2] than that of the 3G. Speed is what matters most to the average user, but the new technology is providing a number of other improvements, such as more security and protection, better switch between the towers and networks, better international roaming, higher data rate, and other improvements.
