A Lightweight Post-Quantum Authentication Framework for 5G Base Station Bootstrapping
Saleh Darzi, Mirza Masfiqur Rahman, Imtiaz Karim +3
The absence of authenticated bootstrapping between User Equipments (UEs) and Base Stations (BSs) in 5G leaves System Information Block (SIB) broadcasts unprotected, enabling fake B…
Future-Proofing Authentication Against Insecure Bootstrapping for 5G Networks: Feasibility, Resiliency, and Accountability
Saleh Darzi, Mirza Masfiqur Rahman, Imtiaz Karim +3
The 5G protocol lacks a robust base station (BS) authentication mechanism during the initial bootstrapping phase, leaving it susceptible to fake BSs, spoofed broadcasts, and large-…
Quantum-Resistant Networks: A Review of Primitives, Protocols and Best Practices
Elisa Bertino, Ramana Kompella, Ashish Kundu +3
Large-scale quantum computers threaten the public-key cryptographic foundations underpinning today's network security infrastructures. While significant progress has been made in s…
Standing Firm in 5G: A Single-Round, Dropout-Resilient Secure Aggregation for Federated Learning
Yiwei Zhang, Rouzbeh Behnia, Imtiaz Karim +2
Federated learning (FL) is well-suited to 5G networks, where many mobile devices generate sensitive edge data. Secure aggregation protocols enhance privacy in FL by ensuring that i…
Uncovering Attacks and Defenses in Secure Aggregation for Federated Deep Learning
Yiwei Zhang, Rouzbeh Behnia, Attila A. Yavuz +2
Federated learning enables the collaborative learning of a global model on diverse data, preserving data locality and eliminating the need to transfer user data to a central server…
