Abstract: There is a critical vulnerability in the 5G AKA protocol of the 3GPP. We propose a protocol that compensates for these vulnerabilities and speed up the existing protocol; and the study implements this protocol to experiment with the vulnerabilities. The protocol uses the Light-weight Encryption Algorithm and is expected to be n 3 times faster in than with the application of Advanced Encryption Standard algorithms. By using this algorithm, we improve the protocol efficiently, reduced the power consumed.
