Abstract
Device-to-device (D2D) communication is a direct means of communication between devices without an intermediate node, and it helps to expand cell coverage and to increase radio frequency reuse in a 5G network. Moreover, D2D communication is a core technology of 5G vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, which is an essential technology for autonomous driving. However, typical D2D communication in an 4G network which is typical telecommunication network has various security challenges including impersonation, eavesdropping, privacy sniffing, free-riding attack, etc. Moreover, when IoT technology emerges with 5G networks in massive machine type communication (mMTC) and ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) application scenarios, these security challenges are more crucial and harder to mitigate because of the resource-constrained nature of IoT devices. To solve the security challenges in a 5G IoT environment, we need a lightweight and secure D2D communication system that can provide secure authentication, data confidentiality/integrity and anonymity. In this paper, we survey and analyze existing results about secure D2D communication systems in terms of their security considerations and limitations. Then, we lastly propose a secure D2D communication system to address the aforementioned security challenges and the limitations of the existing results. The proposed secure D2D communication was designed based on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and lightweight authenticated encryption with associated data (AEAD) ciphers to cover resource-constrained IoT devices.

Summary
D2D communication is a peer-to-peer communication mechanism between devices without an intermediate node [1,2]. AEAD ciphers can provide data confidentiality and data integrity and authentication using a message authentication code (MAC) with associated data during the encryption process These lightweight cryptographic algorithms help to make D2D communication secure and able to process communication efficiently. We propose a secure D2D communication system for a 5G IoT network based on lightweight cryptography ECC and the AEAD cipher. We propose a lightweight cryptography-based secure D2D communication system that can provide anonymity, user authentication, data confidentiality/integrity and efficiency. We survey and analyze existing research based on our security considerations, including authentication, data confidentiality/integrity, anonymity and efficiency. The proposed D2D communication system is designed based on lightweight cryptography It can be implemented and can efficiently process resource-constrained 5G IoT devices.
