Prefetched Asymmetric Authentication For Infrastructureless D2d Communications: Feasibility Study And Analysis

In the Internet-of-Everything (IoE) era, device-to device (D2D) communications has important roles in multiple scenarios, when the SG networking infrastructure has been destroyed or is unavailable. These situations are referred to as infrastructureless D2D (iD2D) communications, where the iD2D mobile equipments (iMEs) establish, maintain, and manage their connections themselves. Since no coordinator provides support in these situations, security controls experience serious problems in terms of authentication, authorization, and privacy. In this paper, we adapt a prefetched asymmetric authentication (pFAA) mechanism as a countermeasure against these challenges. Security analysis proves that the pFAA mechanism protects itself against recent adversary models in the literature.
