Abstract: | In order to provide an opportunity to make personal communication as broad as possible, mobile satellite communication systems have recently drawn much attention. However, any communication system raises two major challenging issues: (1) how to determine whether actors are whom they claim to be; and (2) how to protect data against unauthorized disclosure. Although the secret-key cryptosystem (SKC) and the public-key cryptosystem (PKC) have been developed to provide well-defined security services to address these issues each has serous drawbacks while SKC-based authentication schemes have the common demerit that the server which maintains the secret-key table becomes an attractive target for numerous intrusions, PKC-based schemes suffer from the expensive complexity of the public-key infrastructure (PKI) and a high computation overhead. Therefore, in this paper, a self-verification authentication mechanism with lower computation and key management cost is introduced. |
