Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is a key part of the smart grid; thus, one of the most important concerns is to offer a secure mutual authentication.  This study focuses on communication between a smart meter and a server on the utility side. Hence, a mutual authentication mechanism in AMI is presented based on the elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and one time signature (OTS) consists o...

identification, authentication and quality control are essential to ensure safety, therapeutic potency, efficacy and reproducible quality of herbal medicines. The aim of this study is to use taxonomic method for authentication of traditional herbal drugs which are commonly sold in herbal shops in Iran. In this regard, twenty-seven cases of herbal drugs suspected to be adulterated were investiga...

The purpose of this paper is to present the design for providing security and higher authentication scheme for executing secure data transaction in an Organization field over Internet. There has been incessant change in technology day by day, so security mechanisms like authentication schemes are also required to be updated. Authentication schemes that involve more than single level for authent...

Remote EAP-SIM authentication has an overwhelming impact on the authentication delay. RADIUS protocol can be used for local authentication which reduces authentication latency. However, in case of EAP-SIM authentication, where triplets are to be retrieved from a remote authentication gateway (AuC), this does not help much. An Improved EAP-SIM authentication method was proposed in [2]. In this p...
