Advantages
- Enables fast, scalable, and secure authentication for 5G and future networks.
- Supports lawful interception seamlessly while maintaining privacy and data integrity standards.
- Provides quantum-safe protection using fail-stop signature mechanisms ensuring long-term data security.
- Prevents forgery and fake base stations through distributed, verifiable trust mechanisms.
Summary
Current 5G authentication protocols lack an integrated, resilient framework that can simultaneously support lawful interception, distributed trust, and post-quantum security. This limitation exposes networks to vulnerabilities such as fake base stations, forgery, and unauthorized surveillance.
The Authentication framework with Lawful Interception and Postmortem Quantum Security (ALIPMQS) introduces a Hierarchical Identity Based Threshold Fail Stop Schnorr signature scheme that provides distributed resiliency, forgery detection, and quantum safety. This approach ensures fast, verifiable, and accountable authentication for 5G and beyond without relying on certificates or centralized authorities, making it ideal for telecom providers, security infrastructure developers, and network operators seeking compliance ready, future proof authentication solutions.
