Adaptive Random Key Scheme for Authentication and Key Agreement (ARKS-AKA) for efficient LTE security

Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks are getting popular every year and adding more number of users to the networks. The LTE networks offer very high transmission throughput albeit, which also attracts the hackers to the networks. The primary security has to be provided in order to prevent the attacks during the initial set up phase as well during the other network transactions. Adaptive Random Key Scheme for Authentication and Key Agreement (ARKS-AKA) is presented in this paper for efficient LTE security. ARKS-AKA is intended to reduce the delay time for the voice data delivery. The proposed model diminishes the LTE call drops due to the false positive key matching transactions. ARKS-AKA offers the lightweight key management scheme with double layer encryption contrasted with the existing model termed as Efficient Extensible Authentication Protocol-Authentication and Key Agreement (EEPS-AKA). The simulation results proved the effectiveness of the proposed model.
