FAKE GNB/ENB DETECTION USING IDENTITY-BASED AUTHENTICATION AND ENCRYPTION

摘要

Embodiments are generally directed to fake gNB/eNB detection using identity-based authentication and encryption. An embodiment of an apparatus of a user equipment (UE) to perform an identity-based authentication and encryption process includes one or more baseband processors to generate a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Verify-Request message to an Evolved Node B (eNB) or Next Generation Node B (gNB) in response to receiving an RRCConnectionRelease message in a Cell Reselection process, the UE being in RRC idle mode, process an RRC Verify-Response message received from the eNB in response to the RRC Verify-Request message, and verify authenticity of the eNB or gNB by verifying the RRC Verify-Response message; and a memory to store the messages for the identity-based authentication and encryption process.
