  With the rapid development of various emerging technologies such as the
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), there is a need to secure communications
between such devices. Communication system delays are one of the factors that
adversely affect the performance of an authentication system. 5G networks
enable greater data throughput and lower latency, which presents new
opportunities for the secure authentication of business transactions between
IIoT devices. We evaluate an approach to developing a flexible and secure model
for authenticating IIoT components in dynamic 5G environments.
