Two Way Authentication with Attribute Based Encryption to Increase Security of 5G Networks

Abstract

The direction of mobile communication technology development is toward 5G technology. It is feasible to "wirelessly" control production control systems, such as power monitoring systems, thanks to their low latency and high reliability properties. Users in the power industry can establish specialised "business private network" services using 5G network slicing technologies to better fulfil the varied needs of power grid services. The fully Homomorphic encryption (FHE) is adaptable to perform all kinds of calculation on the data that the network has contained. The FHE facilitates the execution of all kinds of operations on encrypted data without performing decryption. The application of FHE is essential to keep the network infrastructure secure. The calculations are outsourced on the secret data to the server with the secret key which assists in decrypting the result of calculation. This work suggests an innovative framework for enhancing the security of network. The proposed model is implemented in MATLAB and results are analyzed in terms of energy consumption, time and resource consumption.
