Towards generalized ID‐based user authentication for mobile multi‐server environment

With the popularity of Internet and wireless networks, more and more network architectures are used in multi‐server environment, in which mobile users remotely access servers through open networks. In the past, many schemes have been proposed to solve the issue of user authentication for multi‐server environment and low‐power mobile devices. However, most of these schemes have suffered from many attacks because these schemes did not provide the formal security analysis. In this paper, we first give a security model for multi‐server environment. We then propose an ID‐based mutual authentication and key agreement scheme based on bilinear maps for mobile multi‐server environment. Our scheme can be used for both general users with a long validity period and anonymous users with a short validity period. Under the presented security model, we show that our scheme is secure against all known attacks. We demonstrate that the proposed scheme is well suitable for low‐power mobile devices.

Efficient mobile dynamic ID authentication and key agreement scheme without trusted servers

Remote user authentication schemes allow an authorized user to access the resources of remote servers. A dynamic ID authentication scheme further provides the property of user anonymity, that is, information of user identification will not be compromised even if communicated messages are intercepted. When it comes to the mobile user authentication, the client‐side processing capability is usually concerned the most. In this paper, the author proposes an efficient mobile dynamic ID authentication and key agreement scheme without trusted servers. For facilitating the application of mobile devices with limited processing capability, our scheme is optimized for the client‐side computation. Moreover, compared with related works, the proposed scheme is also more secure. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The quest for personal control over mobile location privacy

How to protect location privacy of mobile users is an important issue in ubiquitous computing. However, location privacy protection is particularly challenging: on one hand, the administration requires all legitimate users to provide identity information in order to grant them permission to use its wireless service; on the other hand, mobile users would prefer not to expose any information that could enable anyone, including the administration, to get some clue regarding their whereabouts; mobile users would like to have complete personal control of their location privacy. To address this issue, we propose an authorized-anonymous-ID-based scheme; this scheme effectively eliminates the need for a trusted server or administration, which is assumed in the previous work. Our key weapon is a cryptographic technique called blind signature, which is used to generate an authorized anonymous ID that replaces the real ID of an authorized mobile device. With authorized anonymous IDs, we design an architecture capable of achieving complete personal control over location privacy while maintaining the authentication function required by the administration.     

Secure and efficient anonymous authentication scheme for three-tier mobile healthcare systems with wearable sensors

The mobility and openness of wireless communication technologies make Mobile Healthcare Systems (mHealth) potentially exposed to a number of potential attacks, which significantly undermines their utility and impedes their widespread deployment. Attackers and criminals, even without knowing the context of the transmitted data, with simple eavesdropping on the wireless links, may benefit a lot from linking activities to the identities of patient’s sensors and medical staff members. These vulnerabilities apply to all tiers of the mHealth system. A new anonymous mutual authentication scheme for three-tier mobile healthcare systems with wearable sensors is proposed in this paper. Our scheme consists of three protocols: Protocol-1 allows the anonymous authentication nodes (mobile users and controller nodes) and the HSP medical server in the third tier, while Protocol-2 realizes the anonymous authentication between mobile users and controller nodes in the second tier, and Protocol-3 achieves the anonymous authentication between controller nodes and the wearable body sensors in the first tier. In the design of our protocols, the variation in the resource constraints of the different nodes in the mHealth system are taken into consideration so that our protocols make a better trade-off among security, efficiency and practicality. The security of our protocols are analyzed through rigorous formal proofs using BAN logic tool and informal discussions of security features, possible attacks and countermeasures. Besides, the efficiency of our protocols are concretely evaluated and compared with related schemes. The comparisons show that our scheme outperforms the previous schemes and provides more complete and integrated anonymous authentication services. Finally, the security of our protocols are evaluated by using the Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications and the SPAN animator software. The simulation results show that our scheme is secure and satisfy all the specified privacy and authentication goals.     

A provable and secure mobile user authentication scheme for mobile cloud computing services

The mobile cloud computing (MCC) has enriched the quality of services that the clients access from remote cloud‐based servers. The growth in the number of wireless users for MCC has further augmented the requirement for a robust and efficient authenticated key agreement mechanism. Formerly, the users would access cloud services from various cloud‐based service providers and authenticate one another only after communicating with the trusted third party (TTP). This requirement for the clients to access the TTP during each mutual authentication session, in earlier schemes, contributes to the redundant latency overheads for the protocol. Recently, Tsai et al have presented a bilinear pairing based multi‐server authentication (MSA) protocol, to bypass the TTP, at least during mutual authentication. The scheme construction works fine, as far as the elimination of TTP involvement for authentication has been concerned. However, Tsai et al scheme has been found vulnerable to server spoofing attack and desynchronization attack, and lacks smart card‐based user verification, which renders the protocol inapt for practical implementation in different access networks. Hence, we have proposed an improved model designed with bilinear pairing operations, countering the identified threats as posed to Tsai scheme. Additionally, the proposed scheme is backed up by performance evaluation and formal security analysis.

Multicast security and its extension to a mobile environment

Multicast is rapidly becoming an important mode of communication and a good platform for building group-oriented services. To be used for trusted communication, however, current multicast schemes must be supplemented by mechanisms for protecting traffic, controlling participation, and restricting access of unauthorized users to data exchanged by the participants. In this paper, we consider fundamental security issues in building a trusted multicast facility. We discuss techniques for group-based data encryption, authentication of participants, and preventing unauthorized transmissions and receptions. We also describe the application of these principles and techniques in designing an architecture for secure multicast in a mobile environment.     

Research on pairing-free certificateless batch anonymous authentication scheme for VANET

To solve the problem of security and efficiency of anonymous authentication in vehicular ad hoc network,a pairing-free certificateless batch anonymous authentication scheme was proposed.The public and private keys and pseudonyms were jointly generated by the trusted third party and vehicle,so the system security didn't depend on the tamper device.The scheme can realize authentication,anonymity,traceability,unforgeability,forward or backward security,and so on.Furthermore,under the random oracle model,the scheme can resist Type I and Type II attacks.Because there is no need to use certificates during authentication,the system storage load is effectively reduced.At the same time,the scheme realizes the batch message authentication on the basis of pairing-free operation,so the authentication efficiency is improved.Therefore,the scheme has important theoretical significance and application value in the resource-limited internet of things or embedded environment.

k-times attribute-based authentication scheme using direct anonymous attestation

s: At present, the main drawbacks of existing k-times attribute-based authentication (abbreviated to k-TABA) schemes and related attribute-based authentication schemes are that the computation cost of the authentication process depends on the size of the access formula and none of these schemes considers the problems of member revocation and attribute update. A new k-TABA scheme was constructed based on the building blocks of direct anonymous attestation, set membership proof and ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption. Moreover, in order to reduce user's calculation as much as possible, the underlying attribute-based encryption scheme was modified, and then the main decryption operations were outsourced by using the key binding technique of Green et al. The new scheme can be deployed on a trusted platform and support expressive authentication policies. In addition, it also satisfies several ideal properties, such as registration process verifiability, member revocation, attribute update, and so on. The significant performance advantage of the new scheme is that the computation overhead of the user in the authentication phase is constant.

Self-organized public-key management for mobile ad hoc networks

In contrast with conventional networks, mobile ad hoc networks usually do not provide online access to trusted authorities or to centralized servers, and they exhibit frequent partitioning due to link and node failures and to node mobility. For these reasons, traditional security solutions that require online trusted authorities or certificate repositories are not well-suited for securing ad hoc networks. We propose a fully self-organized public-key management system that allows users to generate their public-private key pairs, to issue certificates, and to perform authentication regardless of the network partitions and without any centralized services. Furthermore, our approach does not require any trusted authority, not even in the system initialization phase.
