In the context of vertical industry, security demands could vary significantly among services. For instance, the mobile Internet of Things (IoT) devices requires lightweight security while high-speed mobile services demand high efficient mobile security. The network-based hop-by-hop security approach may not be efficient enough to build differentiated end-to-end (E2E) security for different services. As IoT is gaining momentum, more people will be able to remotely operate or "talk" to networked devices, for instance, instructing facilities at a smart home to get up. Therefore, there is a need for more stringent authentication method to prevent unauthorized access to IoT devices.
Now, what are the permanent authentication methods the could be to prevent unauthorized access to IoT devices?
Dear Musah Shaibum,
for such IoT applications, as shown in the figure "IoT: CoAP Messages", the following "E2E Security Solution" can be used:
In the IAR (Internet Access Router), more precisely in the "HTTP-to-CoAP Proxy", an Security Access List (SAL) must be created with the authorized users. That is, a list of users who are allowed to access sensors and actuators in the CoAP Environment via the Internet. This SAL must be "protected as best it can" from malicious manipulation. The TLS Protocol is used between each HTTP Client and the HTTP Server in the “HTTP-to-CoAP Proxy”. In the CoAP Environment, the Security Protocol DTLS can be used between the CoAP Client and the CoAP Server. In the "HTTP-to-CoAP Proxy" a kind of "TLS-to-DTLS Translation" has to be realized.
See Figures (00) 7932, 7933 and 7934 in [1].

Hi.,
The 5G standard will offer a multitude of benefits, such as enhanced speed and performance, lower latency, and better efficiency. But it will also come with risks. ... To realize a strong and healthy communications future, the industry needs to maintain a laser focus on 5G security.
The Danger of 5G: 5th Generation Cellular Technology Might Be a Threat to Public Health. ... 5G stands for 5th generation cellular technology, and it's coming your way in 2020. 5G will have an average download speed of about 1GBps (1 gigabyte per second). That means you can download an entire movie in about one second.
The good news is that mobile operators are ensuring security is built into the fabric of their 5G networks. 5G is a more secure standard than 4G, while more stringent testing requirements and security obligations at a national and international level should minimize the risk of vulnerabilities in telecoms equipment.

Combining 5G with IoT is the target agreed on by everyone.
And like any new technique, it will come with many security and privacy issues, but many solutions have been suggested. Some recent ones are listed below:

Please take in consideration that with 5G+IoT new paradigm of problems will arise which requires new types of solutions that includes blockchain, physical layer security, cross layer security solutions.
