Title: Systems and methods for distributed authentication of devices

Abstract

A lightweight, fast, and reliable authentication mechanism compatible with the 5G D2D ProSe standard mechanisms is provided. A distributed authentication with a delegation-based scheme avoids repeated access to the 5G core network key management functions. Hence, a legitimate user equipment device (e.g., a drone) is authorized by the cellular network (e.g., 5G cellular network) via offering a proxy signature to authenticate itself to other drones. Test results demonstrate that the protocol is lightweight and reliable.
