Token-based authentication method for M2M platforms

GSLHA: Group-based Secure Lightweight Handover Authentication Protocol for M2M Communication

Machine to machine (M2M) communication, which is also known as machine type communication (MTC), is one of the most fascinating parts of mobile communication technology and also an important practical application of the Internet of Things. The main objective of this type of communication, is handling massive heterogeneous devices with low network overheads and high security guarantees. Hence, v...

Token-based Fast Authentication for Wireless Network

Authentication method with impersonal token cards

Traditional methods of user authentication in distributed systems suuer from an important weakness which is due to the low degree of randomness in secrets that human beings can use for identiication. Even though weak secrets (passwords and PINs) are typically not exposed in the clear over the communication lines, they can be discovered with oo-line brute force attacks based on exhaustive trials...

Knowledge-Based and Token-Based Authentication

The issue in today’s society is access, whether entering into a restricted building like an office or home, or attempting to access a bank account or credit card. An individual must prove their identity before authorized for utilization. Bruce Schneier, a well-known security expert and CEO of Counterpane Internet Security, states the need to be able to identify, authenticate, and authorize indi...

SIM Based WLAN Authentication for Open Platforms

2. Overview of GSM SIM Based Authentication This paper discusses approaches to authenticating users with open platforms, such as notebook PCs, for WLAN access using SIM cards. Using SIM cards to authenticate WLAN access is desirable by wireless operators as this approach minimizes additional infrastructure investments since the existing authentication processes and equipment are re-used. This p...
