A Novel Secure Identity Management for 5G Ultra Dense Communication Networks
Takveer Singh · 2023
5G ultra dense communication networks provide opportunities to unlock valuable data services. Secure Identity Management (SIM) is an important aspect of the network, but also the most vulnerable. SIM must provide multiple authentication services and identity proofing solutions in order to ensure the secure operation of the network. SIM also must provide robust access control mechanisms to safeguard data integrity and protect network resources from unauthorized access and manipulation. It is also necessary for SIM to be flexible enough to accommodate new or evolving technologies while still maintaining robust protection. This paper will explore the security challenges of SIM in 5G ultra dense communication networks and its implications for network operations. Specifically, the focus will be on authentication protocols, identity proofing, access control, and privacy concerns. These topics will be discussed in greater detail, including potential solutions to address the security challenges of SIM.
