Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for certificate-based authentication in radio-based networks. In one embodiment, a request for service from a radio-based network is received from a client device. The request for service includes a secure certificate. The radio-based network includes a radio access network and an associated core network. The authenticity of the secure certificate is validated based at least in part on a certificate signature in the secure certificate signed by a certificate authority. It is determined that an entity identified in the secure certificate is permitted to access the radio-based network. Radio-based network access is provided to the client device in response to determining that the entity is permitted to access the radio-based network.
