As we notice the increasing adoption of Cellular IoT solutions (smart-home, e-health, among others), there are still some security aspects that can be improved as these devices can suffer various types of attacks that can have a high-impact over our daily lives. In order to avoid this, we present a multi-front security solution that consists on a federated cross-layered authentication mechanism, as well as a machine learning platform with anomaly detection techniques for data traffic analysis as a way to study devices' behavior so it can preemptively detect attacks and minimize their impact. In this paper, we also present a proof-of-concept to illustrate the proposed solution and showcase its feasibility, as well as the discussion of future iterations that will occur for this work.

Upon the new paradigm of Cellular Internet of Things, through the usage of technologies such as Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT), a massive amount of IoT devices will be able to use the mobile network infrastructure to perform their communications. However, it would be beneficial for these devices to use the same security mechanisms that are present in the cellular network architecture, so that their connections to the application layer could see an increase on security. As a way to approach this, an identity management and provisioning mechanism, as well as an identity federation between an IoT platform and the cellular network is proposed as a way to make an IoT device deemed worthy of using the cellular network and perform its actions.
