TESLA, the Timed Efficient Stream Loss-tolerant Authentication protocol, provides source authentication in multicast scenarios. TESLA is an efficient protocol with low communication and computation overhead that scales to large numbers of receivers and also tolerates packet loss. TESLA is based on loose time synchronization between the sender and the receivers. Source authentication is realized...

Cloud Computing, as an emerging, virtual, large-scale distributed computing model, has gained increasing attention these years. Meanwhile it also faces many secure challenges, one of which is authentication. In this paper, we firstly analyze a user authentication framework for cloud computing proposed by Amlan Jyoti Choudhury et al and point out the security attacks existing in the protocol. Th...

We present an authentication scheme and new protocol for domain-based scenarios with inter-domain authentication. Our protocol is primarily intended for domain-structured Peer-to-Peer systems but is applicable for any domain scenario where clients from different domains wish to authenticate to each other. To this end, we make use of Trusted Third Parties in the form of Domain Authentication Ser...

Undoubtedly, GSM is the most important standard of the worldwide wireless communication in recent periods. The authentication protocol is the main component of the GSM architecture. However, there are several drawbacks found in the existing authentication protocol of GSM, such as bandwidth consumption between VLR and HLR, storage overhead in VLR, and the property that VLR cannot be authenticate...

The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) describes a framework that allows the use of multiple authentication mechanisms. This document defines an authentication mechanism for EAP called EAP-EKE, based on the Encrypted Key Exchange (EKE) protocol. This method provides mutual authentication through the use of a short, easy to remember password. Compared with other common authentication metho...

Deniable authentication is a new cryptographic technique of authentication, by which it allows the sender to prove his legitimacy to the intended receiver, but the intended receiver cannot prove to the third party the identity of the sender. Meanwhile, in order to meet various circumstances of the resource limit mobile devices, Lu and Cao proposed a non-interactive deniable authentication proto...

Most of the e-commerce and m-commerce applications in the current e-business world, has adopted asymmetric key cryptography technique in their authentication protocol to provide an efficient authentication of the involved parties. This paper exhibits the performance analysis of distinct authentication protocol which implements the public key cryptography like RSA, ECC and HECC. The comparison i...

To solve the problems about securities, absence of calculation pertinence, incapability of making the most of the reader’s computation and storage capacity that emerged in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) authentication protocols, the paper proposes a Hash function based server/serverless adaptive and mutual authentication protocol of RFID based on the analysis of RFID authentication proto...

The EAP Re-authentication Protocol (ERP) defines extensions to the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to support efficient re-authentication between the peer and an EAP Re-authentication (ER) server through a compatible authenticator. This document specifies Diameter support for ERP. It defines a new Diameter ERP application to transport ERP messages between an ER authenticator and the ER...
