Efficient Data Memory Usages of 3GPP Authentication and Key Agreement Protocol

Minha Park, Yeog Kim, Okyeon Yi · International Journal of Security and Its Applications · 2014

There are various services using mobile devices due to development of communication technology and mobile equipment, regardless of time and place. To secure usage of convenience and smart services, authentication between users’ devices and network is necessary. To achieve this, many researches have been studied about 3 rd Generation Partnership Project Authentication and Key Agreement (3GPP-AKA). Therefore, during authentication between MS and network in radio environments, it is very important to reduce the amount of processing and stored data in MS as much as possible in order that overload of authentication does not occur. So, in this paper, we propose an advanced authentication protocol to solve the problems of 3GPP-AKA discussed other papers and to minimalize data memory usage, keeping the security. As a result, the proposed protocol decreases data memory usage by maximum 37%.
