Authenticating Secure Tokens Using Slow Memory Access
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an authentication protocol that allows a token, such as a smart card, to authenticate itself to a back-end trusted computer system through an untrusted reader. This protocol relies on the fact that the token will only respond to queries slowly, and that the token owner will not sit patiently while the reader seems not to be working. This protocol can be used alone, with \dumb" memory tokens or with processor-based tokens.

Public Key Cryptography enables for entity authentication protocols based on a platform’s knowledge of other platforms’ public key. This is particularly advantageous for embedded systems, such as FPGA platforms with limited or none read-protected memory resources. For access control to mobile systems, the public key of authorized tokens need to be stored inside the mobile platform. At some poin...
متن کاملFounding Cryptography on Tamper-Proof Hardware Tokens
A number of works have investigated using tamper-proof hardware tokens as tools to achieve a variety of cryptographic tasks. In particular, Goldreich and Ostrovsky considered the problem of software protection via oblivious RAM. Goldwasser, Kalai, and Rothblum introduced the concept of one-time programs: in a one-time program, an honest sender sends a set of simple hardware tokens to a (potenti...
