The 5G and beyond wireless networks are critical to support diverse vertical applications by
connecting heterogeneous devices and machines, which directly increase vulnerability for various
spoofing attacks. Conventional cryptographic and physical layer authentication techniques are facing
some challenges in complex dynamic wireless environments, including significant security
overhead, low reliability, as well as difficulties in pre-designing a precise authentication model, providing
continuous protection, and learning time-varying attributes. In this article, we envision new authentication
approaches based on machine learning techniques by opportunistically leveraging physical layer attributes,
and introduce intelligence to authentication for more efficient security provis...
