The flexibility of 5G-NGNs makes them an ideal infrastructure for supporting mission-critical IoT applications that require low latency and high bandwidth. However, due to the rapid proliferation and the integration of IoTs with 5 G, the threat surface has considerably expanded. Hence the security of IoT devices is a big concern. Unfortunately, IoT devices have limited resources, and the traditional security approaches (authentication and intrusion detection approaches) of cryptography do not work effectively on 5G-IoT ecosystems. Motivated from this, we leverage the distinctive RF (Radio Frequency) fingerprinting signatures of IoT devices and used them to train a Deep learning model, Mahalanobis Distance theory in addition to the Chi-square distribution theory, to authenticate the IoT nodes. Under robust scenarios we have tested the approach shows detection accuracy (99.35%) as well as significant amount of reduction in model's training time as these two metrics are one of the primary key performance indicators (KPIs). In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method in real-time scenarios, we tested the proposed solution with a real RF dataset and the OSM-MANO 5 G platform. The model underwent formal verification using the Tamarin Prover tool, and the proposal was also compared with recent research works.
