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. Keywords-LTE network; X2 handover; horizontal and vertical key derivations; desynchronizing attack

“…A recent increase in the usage of novel mobile applications has led to the continuous traffic increase and skyrocketing bandwidth demands [1]. In response, 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standardized Long-Term Evolution/ Long-Term Evolution Advanced (LTE/LTE-A) technology has evolved as the next generation of the mobile communication technology [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Designers of the LTE/LTE-A technology have announced Evolved Packet System (EPS) as the Fourth Generation (4G) of the mobile communication network, which has been recently deployed worldwide and its installations and applications (Machine type Communications, Internet of Things) are increasing rapidly.…”

Long-Term Evolution/Long-Term Evolution Advanced (LTE/LTE-A) is the latest mobile communication technology that is offering high data rates and robust performance to the subscribers. Since LTE/ LTE-A standards are established on the Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity and provide compatibility with the heterogeneous networks, these new features create availability of the new security challenges in the LTE/LTE-A networks. Taking into consideration the issues of serious signalling congestion and security loopholes in LTE/ LTE-A networks, the authors propose an Efficient Authentication and Key Agreement Protocol for Evolved Packet System (EAKA-EPS) with secure handover procedures. The proposed protocol achieves outstanding results in terms of the optimization of computation and signalling overhead. With this, the protocol guarantees the needed security requirements like protected wireless interface and strong mutual authentication between the entities, and ensures access stratum secrecy at the time of handovers. The formal verification results of the proposed scheme over the security verification and simulation tool ''Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA)'' show that the suggested protocol is safe against various malicious attacks, which are still possible in LTE/LTE-A networks. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the suggested approach is the first approach that provides perfect secrecy with less computation and communication overhead in the LTE/LTE-A networks.
