Abstract
This paper presents a Cellular Identity Federation solution which both strengthens and simplifies the authentication of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and applications by providing single sign-on between the network layer and IoT applications. They are hence relieved of the burden of authentication and identity management, which could be both technically and economically challenging. The paper aims at clarifying how IoT authentication can be skipped without compromising security. The proposed solution is described thoroughly, and the authentication process is depicted step by step. Last but not least is the comprehensive description of the proof-of-concept which shows the feasibility of the Cellular Identity Federation.
