Improving LTE EPS-AKA using the security request vector

Nowadays the telecommunications industry focuses on two user requirements: increased data-rates at high speed mobility and robust network security. The emerging technology for these milestones is the 3GPP Long Term Evolution standard and the LTE-Advanced improvement of this standard. The paper describes the main features of these modern networks and conducts an analysis on the LTE EPS-AKA proposing an improvement to address the Denial of Service attacks pointed out by researchers in the last years.
