Abstract: The present invention relates to a blockchain-based decentralized authentication system for secure verification of mobile nodes in wireless communication networks. Conventional authentication mechanisms rely on centralized architectures, which are vulnerable to single points of failure, security breaches, and high signaling overhead. The proposed invention overcomes these limitations by utilizing a distributed ledger to store and manage authentication data in a secure and tamper-resistant manner. The system comprises mobile nodes, edge nodes, a blockchain network, smart contracts, and a blockchain authentication server. During a registration phase, a mobile node generates a public-private key pair and submits a digitally signed request containing its identity and credentials. Upon verification, an authentication transaction is recorded on the blockchain, ensuring immutability and transparency. During the authentication phase, the mobile node sends a request to an edge node, which forwards it to the blockchain network. A smart contract verifies the authenticity of the request using stored public keys, and may optionally interact with a central server for additional validation parameters. Upon successful verification, access is granted and a session key is generated for secure communication. The invention provides enhanced security by mitigating attacks such as Sybil, replay, and man-in-the-middle attacks, while achieving improved authentication success rates and reduced security breach rates compared to existing techniques. The decentralized architecture ensures scalability, transparency, and trust, making the invention suitable for next-generation mobile and wireless communication systems.
