A Novel Extensible Authentication Protocol Based Group Authentication and Key Agreement Protocol for Wireless Networking

By utilizing the broadcast nature of radio channels, cooperative wireless communications exploits a brand new degree of freedom to combat unfavorable wireless channel conditions with the help of relays. The transmission reliableness and rates achieved by cooperation for various communication eventualities and cooperation schemes are extensively studied. However, additionally to the benefits it brings to wireless networking, cooperation additionally raises some sensible problems, among that data security is maybe the foremost vital. During this work propose a gaggle authentication and key agreement protocol, known as EG-AKA, for wireless networking communications combining elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) supported EAP framework. Compared with typical EAPAKA, the planned protocol guarantees stronger security and provides higher performance. Elaborated security analysis has shown that the planned EG-AKA protocol is secure in terms of user and cluster identity protection and resistance to many attacks. Moreover, the planned protocol is secure against numerous malicious attacks through the performance analysis and its potency is just too high in terms of the sign overhead, the bandwidth consumption, and also the transmission price.
