Authentication Protocol using MYK-NTRUSign Signature Algorithm in Wireless Network Environment

In this paper, we propose a new bidirectional authentication and key agreement protocol based on the MYK-NTRUSign signature algorithm. The AES encryption algorithm and hash techniques were adopted to build our protocol. To implement the mutual authentication and session key agreement, the proposed protocol includes two phases: namely initial phase and mutual authentication with key agreement phase. As the MYK-NTRUSign signature algorithm is applied, our protocol not only can overcome the security flaws of authentication protocols based on secret-key, but also support greater security attributes and lower computational complexity in comparison with currently well-known public key based wireless authentication schemes.
