Implementation of Efficient 5G AKA Protocol for Light-Weight Environment

Abstract

There is a critical vulnerability in the 5G AKA protocol of the 3GPP. We propose a protocol that compensates for these vulnerabilities and speed up the existing protocol; and the study implements this protocol to experiment with the vulnerabilities. The protocol uses the Light-weight Encryption Algorithm and is expected to be n3 times faster in than with the application of Advanced Encryption Standard algorithms. By using this algorithm, we improve the protocol efficiently, reduced the power consumed.
