In this paper, we analyze the feasibility of the IP spoofing attack exploiting null security algorithms in 5G networks based on 3GPP standard specifications. According to 3GPP standard specifications, the initial Registration Request message is not protected by encryption and integrity. The IP spoofing attack exploits the vulnerability that allows a malicious gNB (next generation Node B) to modify the contents of the initial Registration Request message of a victim UE (User Equipment) before forwarding it to AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function). If the attack succeeds, the victim UE is disconnected from the 5G network and a malicious UE gets Internet services, while the 5G operator will charge the victim UE. In this paper, we analyze the feasibility of the IP spoofing attack by analyzing whether each signaling message composing the attack conforms to the 3GPP Rel-17 standard specifications. As a result of the analysis, it is determined that the IP spoofing attack is not feasible in the 5G system implemented according to the 3GPP Rel-17 standard specifications.

Expander graphs are useful in the design and analysis of communication networks. Mukhopadhyay et. al introduced a method to generate a family of expander graphs based on nongroup two predecessor single attractor CA(Cellular Automata). In this paper we propose a method to generate a family of expander graphs based on 60/102 Null boundary CA(NBCA) which is a group CA. The spectral gap generated by our method is larger than that of Mukhopadhyay et. al [12]. As an application we give an algorithm which generate one-way functions whose security lies on the combinatorial properties of our expander graphs. the one-way function using d-regular graph generated by the 60/102 NBCA is based on the Goldreich's construction [5].
