Autonomous vehicles (AV) can not only improve traffic safety and congestion, but also have strategic significance for the development of the transportation industry. With the continuous updating of core technologies such as artificial intelligence, sensor detection, synchronous positioning, and high‐precision mapping, the development of AV has been promoted. When 5G network is combined with Internet of Vehicles, the problems of AV can be solved by taking advantage of 5G ultra‐large bandwidth, low latency and high reliability. However, when the user controls the vehicle remotely, a real‐time and reliable authentication process is needed, while minimizing the overhead of security protocols. Therefore, this article proposes a practical and secure multifactor user authentication protocol for AV in 5G network. By introducing non‐interactive zero‐knowledge proof technology and physical uncloning function, the protocol completes mutual authentication and key agreement without revealing any sensitive information. The article proves the security of the protocol through BAN logic and the simulation of Scyther. And it can resist malicious attacks and provide more security features. The informal security analysis shows that the protocol can meet the proposed security requirements. Finally, we evaluate the efficiency of the protocol, and the results show that the protocol can provide better performance.

When mobile network enters 5G era, 5G networks have a series of unparalleled advantages. Therefore, the application of 5G network technology in the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) can promote more intelligently vehicular networks and more efficiently vehicular information transmission. However, with the combination of 5G networks and vehicular networks technology, it requires safe and reliable authentication and low computation overhead. Therefore, it is a challenge to achieve such low latency, security, and high mobility. In this paper, we propose a secure and efficient lightweight authentication protocol for vehicle group. The scheme is based on the extended chaotic map to achieve authentication, and the Chinese remainder theorem distributes group keys. Scyther is used to verify the security of the scheme, and the verification results show that the security of the scheme can be guaranteed. In addition, through security analysis, the scheme can not only effectively resist various attacks but also guarantee security requirements such as anonymity and unlinkability. Finally, by performance analysis and comparison, our scheme has less computation and communication overhead.

In recent years, wirless Internet of Things (IoT) technology has developed rapidly, and the reuse of spectrum resources, network efficiency, and the diversity of multi-communication scenarios have brought great challenges to the existing Internet of Things. And Device to Device (D2D) communication technology in 5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology (5G) has good application prospects in these aspects. Therefore, the combination with D2D can well solve the needs in the wirless Internet of things. However, safe and effective communication has become an urgent problem to be solved. In this paper, this paper proposes a D2D group communication protocol for wireless IoT in 5G. In this protocol, the Chinese remainder theorem is introduced into the protocol design, and a secure and efficient group authentication scheme is constructed based on secret sharing and Chebyshev Polynomials. The formal security proof using Burrows Abadi Needham (BAN) logic and informal security analysis show that our proposed protocol meets the security requirements. Through performance analysis, compared with other related schemes, this scheme not only provides better security, but also has obvious advantages in computation and communication efficiency.

As one of the three major applications of 5G, massive machine type communication (mMTC) is mainly oriented to network access scenarios for massive devices. mMTC focuses on solving the problem that traditional mobile communication cannot well support the Internet of Things and vertical industry applications. According to the current 3GPP standard, these massive devices still use the traditional authentication process to realize mutual authentication with 5G core network, which brings a lot of communication and computing overhead. In addition, privacy protection will also be threatened in the authentication process. In order to alleviate the signaling congestion during authentication and solve the insecurity in authentication, this paper proposes a group authentication scheme for mMTC. Due to the characteristics of low power consumption and massive connection, the scheme mainly adopts lightweight encryption operation to avoid the computational burden of equipment and server. We verify the security of our scheme by using BAN logic to formally analyze the scheme. Then, through informal analysis, our proposed scheme can not only avoid signaling blocking and provide mutual authentication but also resist various possible attacks. Through performance evaluation, it is proved that our scheme has better efficiency.
