Authentication schemes play vital roles in computer and communication security. In order to authenticate the remote users, password based schemes have been widely used. In this paper we introduce a secure remote user authentication scheme based on bilinear pairing that satisfies all security requirements which are mentioned for password based authentication schemes using smart card  

In 2003, Wu and Chieu proposed a user friendly remote authentication scheme using smart cards. Later, Yang and Wang pointed out that Wu and Chieu's scheme is vulnerable to the password guessing and forgery attacks. Recently, Lee et al. proposed an improved authentication scheme and claimed that their scheme is secure against forgery attack. However, in this paper, we illustrate that Lee et al.'s scheme is still vulnerable to the forgery attack. We also propose an enhancement of the scheme to resist such that attack. © 2010  

Security is a critical and vital task in WSNs. Recently, key management as the core of a secure communication has received lots of attention, but in most of the proposed methods security has been compromised in favor of reducing energy consumption. Consequently, perfect resiliency has not been achieved by most of the previous works. Hostile environment, ability of adversary to capture the nodes, and dead nodes with sensitive data scattered in the region, calls for a more secure and yet practical method. This paper proposes a novel authentication scheme based on broadcast messages from BS to improve security of key management system. Through simulation it is shown that energy consumption of... 

In vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs), the correctness of a message requires authentication of the origin vehicle.In this paper, we introduce a novel authentication scheme for VANETs which suggests a new solution for secure vehicle communications. The proposed scheme is an road side unit (RSU) based scheme in which the master key of the Trusted Authority (TA) is embedded in a tamper-proof device provided at the RSUs. Compared with the schemes that store the master key in the on-board units, our scheme is more practical because of a secure and high speed communication link between TA and RSUs. To the best of our knowledge,this solution has not yet been devised for secure authentication in... 

Many smart-card-based remote authentication schemes have been proposed recently. In 2004, Yoon et al. presented an improved scheme which is the leading of a research track started from Sun, 2000. In this paper, we illustrate that Yoon et al.'s scheme is vulnerable to the parallel session attack and propose an enhancement of the scheme to resist that attack. In our scheme the parties further establish a forward-secure session key by employing only hash functions to protect the subsequent communications. We also demonstrate that our scheme has better security in comparison to other related works, while it does not incur much computational cost © 2007 Springer  

The Internet of Things (IoT) technology enables numerous things with different processing power and storage capacity to communicate and share data with each other. Considering the constrained devices of the IoT network in terms of processing and storage, designing a lightweight authentication scheme is quite important. So in this paper, we propose a lightweight authentication scheme based on Chebyshev Chaotic Maps. In the proposed scheme we apply a hierarchical structure to define different access controls for various entities. We then provide a formal analysis via the BAN logic to show the security of our scheme. Moreover, we compare our proposed scheme with previous ones in terms of...

In the past decades, Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) have been increasingly developed. Providing secure and efficient communication is essential in VANETs. One of most important challenges in the secure and efficient communications is proposing an appropriate authentication scheme. In this paper, we suggest an efficient and novel authentication scheme for VANETs. In the proposed scheme, vehicles authenticate each other without any limitation such as need for group of signers, online Road Side Units (RSUs), a set of pseudo identities and tamper-proof devices. Moreover, our simulation shows that the proposed scheme is well designed and efficient. © 2019, © 2019 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC  

Apart from its security, an SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) authentication protocol shall be efficient; because in order to replace traditional telephony, VoIP services have to offer enough security and QoS compared to PSTN services. Recently, Srinivasan et al. proposed an efficient SIP authentication scheme. The low delay overhead introduced by their scheme, causes the total call setup time to be well within the acceptable limit recommended by ITU-T. Based on their work, this paper proposes an SIP authentication scheme. In both schemes, the end users are authenticated with the proxy server in their domain using the registrar server. Comparing with the Srinivasan et al.'s scheme, our... 

Secure routing is one of the most important topics in the wireless MANETs networks. MANETs networks don't have a central infrastructure for the management of routing in the networks. Each node independently routes and sends packets, so many attacks such as forging, modifying, and denial of service (DoS), Occur in these networks. In this paper, we present the new protocol, SEAODV; Secure Efficient Ad-hoc on Demand Routing Protocol for MANETs networks. SEAODV is based on the AODV algorithm and in comparison with existing secure AODV protocols such as SAODV, ARAN and SEAR have improved security and performances. SEAODV uses HEAP authentication Scheme with symmetric cryptography and one-way hash...
