Abstract

In this paper, we have proposed a lightweight mutual authentication and key agreement scheme for 5G (5GMAKA) using the symmetric-key cryptographic framework. The proposed 5GMAKA protocol has been implemented to overcome the problem associated with the 5G authentication and key agreement (5G AKA) protocol suggested by the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP). 5G AKA is exposed to various sorts of fatal network security attacks and takes excessive time to execute (\(\sim ~685.62\,{\rm milliseconds}\)) compared to other related authentication and key agreement schemes as per the literature survey. The stability and robustness of the proposed 5GMAKA under safety issues are ensured by the results obtained from the security analysis of the scheme using the well-known rubin logic and automatic validation of internet security protocol applications (AVISPA) simulation tool. The performance analysis of the proposed 5GMAKA shows that this scheme is superior compared to 5G AKA of 3GPP and other standard protocols with respect to enhanced security features, five communication rounds, and shorter execution time (\(\sim 0.72\,{\rm milliseconds}\)) which is the lowest among all other related schemes.
