A Secure Mutual Authentication Protocol for Roaming in Wireless Mesh Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Roaming in wireless mesh networks (WMNs) requires that mobile nodes complete access authentication fast while protecting the identities of mobile nodes. In this paper, after analyzing some current authentication protocols for roaming in wireless mesh networks, we propose a new protocol based on multi-signature and three-party key agreement with a zone-based hierarchical network topology and prove the security properties of the protocol through formal analysis that is based on the strand space model. We also demonstrate the reliability and performance of the proposed protocol through network simulations.

A TESLA-based mutual authentication protocol for GSM networks
The widespread use of wireless cellular networks has made security an ever increasing concern. GSM is the most popular wireless cellular standard, but security is an issue. The most critical weakness in the GSM protocol is the use of one-way entity authentication, i.e., only the mobile station is authenticated by the network. This creates many security problems including vulnerability against m...

In wireless network and mobile network, a two-factor authentication scheme for roaming services enables a mobile user to achieve mutual authentication and key agreement with the foreign agent. In this paper, we review Kim et al.’s anonymous authentication scheme in global mobility networks. Analysis shows that Kim et al.’s scheme fails to achieve anonymity and two-factor authentication. In addi...

Recently, Mun et al. analyzed Wu et al.’s authentication scheme and proposed a enhanced anonymous authentication scheme for roaming service in global mobility networks. However, through careful analysis, we find that Mun et al.’s scheme is vulnerable to impersonation attacks, off-line password guessing attacks and insider attacks, and cannot provide user friendliness, user’s anonymity, proper m...
