An anonymous authentication scheme for roaming services in global mobility networks allows a mobile user visiting a foreign network to achieve mutual authentication and session key establishment with the foreign-network operator in an anonymous manner. In this work, we revisit He et al.’s anonymous authentication scheme for roaming services and present previously unpublished security weaknesses in the scheme: (1) it fails to provide user anonymity against any third party as well as the foreign agent, (2) it cannot protect the passwords of mobile users due to its vulnerability to an offline dictionary attack, and (3) it does not achieve session-key security against a man-in-the-middle attack. We also show how the security weaknesses of He et al.’s scheme can be addressed without degrading the efficiency of the scheme.

Perfect Forward Secrecy

In 2012, Mun et al. pointed out that Wu et al.’s scheme failed to achieve user anonymity and perfect forward secrecy and disclosed the passwords of legitimate users. And they proposed a new enhancement for anonymous authentication scheme. However, their proposed scheme has vulnerabilities that are susceptible to replay attack and man-in-the-middle attack. It also incurs a high overhead in the database. In this paper, we examine the vulnerabilities in the existing schemes and the computational overhead incurred in the database. We then propose a secure and efficient anonymous authentication scheme for roaming service in global mobility network. Our proposed scheme is secure against various attacks, provides mutual authentication and session key establishment, and incurs less computational overhead in the database than Mun et al.'s scheme.

Shared Key

A chaotic map-based mutual authentication scheme with strong anonymity is proposed in this paper, in which the real identity of the user is encrypted with a shared key between the user and the trusted server. Only the trusted server can determine the real identity of a user during the authentication, and any other entities including other users of the system get nothing about the user’s real identity. In addition, the shared key of encryption can be easily computed by the user and trusted server using the Chebyshev map without additional burdensome key management. Once the partnered two users are authenticated by the trusted server, they can easily proceed with the agreement of the session key. Formal security analysis demonstrates that the proposed scheme is secure under the random oracle model.

Authentication Schemes

In the ubiquitous networks, mobile nodes can obtain roaming service that enables them to get access to the services extended by their home networks in the field of foreign network. To provide secure and anonymous communication for legal mobile users in roaming services, there should be a mutual authentication between mobile user and foreign agent with the help of home agent. There are many roaming authentication schemes which have been proposed; however, with the progress of quantum computation, quantum attack poses security threats to many traditional public key cryptography-based authentication schemes; thus, antiquantum attack roaming authentication schemes need to be investigated. On account of the limitation of computational resources for mobile nodes, a lightweight anonymous and antiquantum authentication schemes need to be developed to enable mobile nodes to roam across multiple service domains securely and seamlessly. In consideration of the advantages of lattice in antiquantum, an NTRU-based authentication scheme with provable security and conditional privacy preservation is proposed to remedy these security weaknesses. Compared with the existing scheme, the proposed scheme not only improves efficiency but also can resist the quantum attack.

Security is a major challenge in modern IoT based healthcare monitoring systems. It provides many benefits such as critical patient monitoring, remote diagnosis at anytime, anywhere. Hence, security of this data is essential when the healthcare professionals access it. Also, while storing the patients record; it must be kept safe from misuse and modification of data as other devices can easily track it. To prevent this type of threats, we have proposed a mutual authentication protocol to enhance health care security and to resist vulnerable attacks. The proposed scheme used Challenge response protocol for the authentication purpose and the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol is used for generation of the session key generation. The security analysis of the proposed scheme shows that the scheme is more secure and resist all the major attacks as compared to other schemes. The Formal verification of this schema also ensures that it resists most probable attacks in this system. The result of the proposed authentication scheme shows that it has low computational and communicational load.

Aiming at the security problems of authentication in multi-server environments, a novel three-factor authentication scheme for multi-server environments of industrial Internet is proposed. After verifying password and face, a temporary session key is established for the user and server. Then the user obtains the permission of application services and accessing resources. In process of verifying password, hash function is used to hide password. The method of verifying face is the face recognition based on singular value decomposition. During the key agreement phase, only four dot multiplication operations based on elliptic curve cryptography is used to realize one-time key for cryptograph transmission and mutual authentication. Through security analysis and performance comparison, the proposed scheme has stronger robustness, higher security, better convenience and less computation cost than other similar schemes, and has high application value for multi-server environments of industrial Internet.

Zero Knowledge Proof

In this paper, we address the problem of mutual authentication in user groups in decentralized messaging systems without trusted third party. We propose a mutual authentication algorithm for groups using zero-knowledge proof. Using the algorithm, which is based on trust chains existing in decentralized network, users are able to authenticate each other without establishing a shared secret over side channel. The proposed algorithm is based on Democratic Group Signature protocol (DGS) and Communication-Computation Efficient Group Key algorithm for large and dynamic groups (CCEGK). We have performed security analysis of the proposed mutual authentication scheme against several attacks including Sybil attack and have made complexity estimation for the algorithm. The algorithm is implemented in an experimental P2P group messaging application, and using this implementation we estimate overhead of the authentication scheme and convergence time for several initial configurations of user groups and trust chains.

Client Server Architecture

Client-server computing is the analytical development of compatible programming with significant supposition and the detachment of a massive program into its fundamental parts ("modules"), which can create the chance for extra enhancement, inconsiderable improvement, and prominent maintainability. In client-server computing, total extensive modules don't need to be accomplished within the similar memory space totally but can execute independently on a suitable hardware and software platform according to their behavior. The user authentication is the dominant constraint for client-server computing that limits the illegitimate right of entry into the main workstation. This research is mainly focused on the design of a robust authentication scheme for client-server architecture computing. It carries some additional features like security, virtualization, user's programs security, individuality supervision, integrity, control access to server and authentication. The proposed background also delivers the characteristic supervision, mutual authentication, and establishment of secure session key among users and the remote server.

The Internet Of Things

As an important application of the Internet of Things, smart home has greatly facilitated our life. Since the communication channels of smart home are insecure and the transmitted data are usually sensitive, a secure and anonymous user authentication scheme is required. Numerous attempts have been taken to design such authentication schemes. Recently, Shuai et al. (Computer & Security 86(2019):132146) designed an anonymous authentication scheme for smart home using elliptic curve cryptography. They claimed that the proposed scheme is secure against various attacks and provides ideal attributes. However, we show that their scheme cannot resist inside attack and offline dictionary attack and also fails to achieve forward secrecy. Furthermore, we give some suggestions to enhance the security of the scheme. These suggestions also apply to other user authentication schemes with similar flaws.

The rapid development of intelligent networked vehicles (ICVs) has brought many positive effects. Unfortunately, connecting to the outside exposes ICVs to security threats. Using secure protocols is an important approach to protect ICVs from hacker attacks and has become a hot research area for vehicle security. However, most of the previous studies were carried out on V2X networks, while those on in-vehicle networks (IVNs) did not involve Ethernet. To this end, oriented to the new IVNs based on Ethernet, we designed an efficient secure scheme, including an authentication scheme using the Scalable Service-Oriented Middleware over IP (SOME/IP) protocol and a secure communication scheme modifying the payload field of the original SOME/IP data frame. The security analysis shows that the designed authentication scheme can provide mutual identity authentication for communicating parties and ensure the confidentiality of the issued temporary session key; the designed authentication and secure communication scheme can resist the common malicious attacks conjointly. The performance experiments based on embedded devices show that the additional overhead introduced by the secure scheme is very limited. The secure scheme proposed in this article can promote the popularization of the SOME/IP protocol in IVNs and contribute to the secure communication of IVNs.
