“…This will prevent the disclosure of information by intervening and eavesdropping attacks. Mobile networks evolving from GSM to LTE employ encryption algorithms ranging from A5/2 to Evolved Packet System (EPS) Encryption Algorithm (EEA) [49]. Moreover, security specifications published under TS 23.122 and TS 33.210 guarantee the security measures available at Access Stratum (AS) and Non-Access Stratum (NAS) levels of 3GPP architecture [50].…”

The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has introduced the paradigm of Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) to enable efficient and fast data processing in mobile networks. Among other technological requirements, security and privacy are significant factors in the realization of MEC deployments. In this paper, we analyse the security and privacy of the MEC system. We introduce a thorough investigation of the identification and the analysis of threat vectors in the ETSI standardized MEC architecture. Furthermore, we analyse the vulnerabilities leading to the identified threat vectors and propose potential security solutions to overcome these vulnerabilities. The privacy issues of MEC are also highlighted, and clear objectives for preserving privacy are defined. Finally, we present future directives to enhance the security and privacy of MEC services.

“…This information can then be used to provide support against weaknesses; this, in turn, ensures that the data field is protected by the beacon, data, and control frames while unsupported by the Acknowledgement frames. The Acknowledgement frames' lack of protection means that it is possible for their information to be transferred in an unprotected manner [17].…”

Many different networks that rely on short-distance wireless technology for their functions utilize the IEEE 802.15.4 Standard, especially in the case of systems that experience a low level of traffic. The networks using this standard are typically based on the Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Network, herein called the LR-WPAN; this network is used for the provision of both the physical layer, herein referred to as the PHY, and the media access control, herein abbreviated as the MAC. There are four security features in the IEEE 802.15.4 Standard that are designed to ensure the safe and secure transmission of data through the network. Disconnection from the network is managed and controlled by the message authentication code, herein referred to as the MAC, while the coordinator personal area network, herein abbreviated as the PAN, is also able to trigger the disconnection. However, the process of disconnection from the network is one area of vulnerability to denial-of-service attacks, herein referred to as DoS; this highlights a major shortcoming of the IEEE 802.15.4 Standard’s security features. This paper is intended to contribute to the improvement of security for the IEEE network by conducting a specific and in-depth review of available literature as well as conducting an analysis of the disassociation process. In doing so, potential new threats will be highlighted, and this data can be used to improve the security of the IEEE 802.15.4 Standard. Overall, in this paper, the role of the Castalia tool in the OMNET++ environment is analysed and interpreted for these potential new threats. Also, this paper proposes a solution to such threats to improve the security IEEE 802.15.4 disassociation process. Keywords: Disassociation vulnerability of IEEE 802.15.4 Standard, DoS attack, IoT security.

With the upcoming deployment and usage of Cellular Internet of Things solutions, it is important to mitigate some issues regarding security, due to the physical limitations that some devices have such as low memory, low processing power or even low battery range that don't allow them to perform or support more complex functions. To combine and benefit from the security mechanisms that exist in cellular networks, in this paper we present a cross-federation identity solution that simplifies the authentication and identification procedures for these devices by providing a single sign-on access trait between both the network and the application layers, by also addressing a developed proof-of-concept that allows to illustrate the solution's potential.
