    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores instructions to configure a base station for user equipment (UE) authentication in a wireless network and to cause the base station to perform an operation comprising decoding configuration signaling received from a PHY security function (PSF) of the wireless network. The configuration signaling includes a request for collection of a plurality of signal samples from the UE, the UE authenticated based on successful completion of a first authentication process. A response message is encoded for transmission to the PSF. The response message includes the plurality of UE signal samples. A trained machine learning model received from the PSF is decoded. The trained machine learning model associates the authenticated UE with an RF signature of the UE. The RF signature is based on the plurality of signal samples. A second authentication process of the UE is performed based on the trained model.

    Abstract: An apparatus and system to mitigate non-genuine handovers are described. The handovers include handovers based on fake measurements and handovers to malicious cells. To mitigate these, a mitigation procedure is initiated when excessive handovers are detected. Location information obtained from the UE, estimation of PHY layer properties by the serving and/or target cell, or AI modeling of the best serving cell at the UE location is used to determine whether the handover is valid. If not, the handover is canceled and the UE is stopped from initiating new handovers for a specified time, the UE may be instructed to perform re-authentication with the network, and/or the serving cell recommends to the network authentication entity to revoke the UE authentication. To ensure that the target cell is legitimate, an AI model is used to classify the target cell as known/unknown and the result sent to the network in NAS signaling.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to increase resiliency in self-healing mechanisms. At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium comprises instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to at least partition computational resources of a first host into a primary partition and a shadow partition, the primary partition to communicate with a second host, apply a fix for the primary partition, determine if the primary partition can communicate with the second host during the application of the fix, cause, in response to the determination that the primary partition cannot communicate with the second host during the application of the fix, the shadow partition to communicate with the second host; and transfer communication with the second host from the shadow partition to the primary partition, the transfer in response to a determination that the application of the fix is complete.

    Abstract: At least one machine readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed by a system cause the system to send a unique identifier to a license server, establish a secure channel based on the unique identifier, request a license for activating an appliance from a license server over the secure channel, receive license data from the license server over the secure channel; determine whether the license is valid, and activate the appliance in response to a determination that the license data is valid.
