Daesung ChoiAuthentication and Key Agreement (Aka) Protocol • June 28th, 2014
Contract Type FiledJune 28th, 2014Abstract—We propose Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) for Machine Type Communications (MTC) in LTE- Advanced. This protocol is based on an idea of grouping devices so that it would reduce signaling congestion in the access network and overload on the single authentication server. We verified that this protocol is designed to be secure against many attacks by using a software verification tool. Furthermore, performance evaluation suggests that this protocol is efficient with respect to authentication overhead and handover delay.
