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...

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...

This document specifies a mutual authentication method for the Hyper-text Transfer Protocol (HTTP). This method provides a true mutual authentication between an HTTP client and an HTTP server using password-based authentication. Unlike the Basic and Digest authentication methods, the Mutual authentication method specified in this document assures the user that the server truly knows the user’s ...

as a response to a growing interest in rfid systems such as internet of things technology along with satisfying the security of these networks, proposing secure authentication protocols are indispensable part of the system design. hence, authentication protocols to increase security and privacy in rfid applications have gained much attention in the literature. in this study, security and privac...

Mutual authentication is an important security property for providing secure remote communication in client-server environment. Up to now, various remote user authentication schemes with smart card using bilinear pairings were proposed by different researchers. Unfortunately, most previously proposed authentication schemes do not provide mutual authentication and session key agreement. This pap...

Recently, Jung et al. proposed a robust conditional privacy-preserving authentication protocol in vehicle ad-hoc networks. However, Jung et al.’s authentication protocol cannot provide unlinkage and mutual authentication during the communications between the vehicles and the road-side infrastructure units. In this paper, we propose an improved privacy-preserving mutual authentication protocol f...

Whenever there is communication between Client and Server over a public link and resources are to be accessed from remote systems, then proving an identity becomes quiet complex because there is need of proper access rights with authentication. Complete security at the transport layer starts with proof of authentication, majority organizations only use password for security but this research pa...
