Research on 3GPP Authentication and Key Agreement Protocols

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1671-1122.2016.08.005

Abstract

Abstract:

Under 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the introduction of 3GPP system and security architectures are given. Based on these, the communication scenarios and the corresponding security protocols in 3GPP are also introduced, which include the different authentication and key agreement protocols in the 3GPP-access, the trusted non-3GPP access and untrusted non-3GPP access network, respectively. In addition, large-scale group-oriented secure communication protocols for machine to machine communications are reviewed. Finally, we present key issues and research directions in the future.

Key words: 3rd generation partnership project, wireless network security, authentication and key agreement, machine to machine communications, group communications
