Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, authenticating, by a federated blockchain controller, a user equipment located within a cell coverage area of a network that includes heterogeneous cells. The federated blockchain controller can provide encryption data to the user equipment and corresponding authentication information to one or more multi-access edge computing (MEC) devices associated with the heterogeneous cells to enable secure and efficient handovers for the user equipment amongst the heterogeneous cells, without a need for additional handover reauthentication procedures. Other embodiments are disclosed.
