Of late, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has become one of the popular signaling protocols especially for the multimedia communication system. Various protocols have been proposed by researchers to ensure access independence, authentication, and Key Agreement security characteristic. With the extensive growth of cellular networks, mobile traffic connected with the advancements of the wireless communication channel. In this scenario, Machine Type Communication (MTC) plays a crucial role in line with Long Term Evaluation-Advanced Networks as their communication happened between Machine to machine without human intervention. In order to reach Mobile Type Transmission (MTT) security condition, the access verification process required to pursue the verification and Key Agreement protocol. Moreover, the development of Group premised communication and individual authentication mechanisms to every Machine Type Communication device (MTTD) would lead to signal-congestion in real-time networking scenarios. Jinguo et al. proposed a Group-Based Verification and Key-Agreement protocol with dynamically updating policy for mutual authentication. Especially, they chose an asynchronous secret shared key merged to work with Diffie-Hellman protocol for establishing disjoint verification and session-key establishment across LTE Advanced Networks. However, the DH algorithm could not provide message integrity to upgrade the security feature namely integrity. In this paper, the algorithms Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in addition to Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) can be integrated called an Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA)” which addresses verification and integrity.

In view of the exponential growth in the volume of wireless data communication among heterogeneous devices ranging from smart phones to tiny sensors across a wide range of applications, 3GPP LTE-A has standardized Machine Type Communication (MTC) which allows communication between entities without any human intervention. The future 5G cellular networks also envisage massive deployment of MTC Devices (MTCDs) which will increase the total number of connected devices hundredfold. This poses a huge challenge to the traditional cellular system processes, especially the traditional Mutual Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) mechanism currently used in LTE systems, as the signaling load caused by the increasingly large number of devices may have an adverse effect on the regular Human to Human (H2H) traffic. A solution in the literature has been the use of group based architecture which, while addressing the authentication traffic, has their share of issues. This paper introduces Hierarchical Group based Mutual Authentication and Key Agreement (HGMAKA) protocol to address those issues and also enables the small cell heterogeneous architecture in line with 5G networks to support MTC services. The aggregate Message Authentication Code based approach has been shown to be lightweight and significantly efficient in terms of resource usage compared to the existing protocols, while being robust to authentication message failures, and scalable to heterogeneous network architectures.
