[9]2017Lightweight cryptography scheme considering both ECC and ElGamalECC for key generation and ElGamal for encryption/decryption of messagesHigh overhead
[10]2019Lightweight authentication technique based on ElGamal encryptionUse a mix of ECC for key pair selection and ElGamal encryption for secret key exchangeNo lightweight symmetric encryption
[11]2019Authentication technique uses certificateless cryptographyD2D authentication techniqueAsymmetric encryption with high overhead
[12]2020Authentication mechanism along with device detection and privacy protection with the use of identity-based encryptionAuthentication, privacy protectionWeak encryption mechanism
[13]2021Lightweight multilayer authentication schemeECC algorithm with low computation costNo lightweight symmetric encryption
Proposed work2022Security mechanism in 5G network for D2D wireless communication dependent on lightweight modified elliptic curve cryptography (LMECC)Lightweight symmetric encryption with low protocol overheadMore focused on 5G D2D communication with/without various security challenges
