Mobile user authentication and key agreement for wireless networks is an important security priority. In recent years, several user authentication and key agreement protocols with smart cards for wireless communications have been proposed. In 2011, Xu et al. proposed an efficient mutual authentication and key agreement protocol with an anonymity property. Although the protocol of Xu et al. has ...

Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) Password Authenticated Exchange Status of This Memo This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract This document defines an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) method called EAP-PAX (Password Authenticated eXchange). This method is a li...

Most of the password based authentication protocols make use of the single authentication server for user’s authentication. User’s verifier information stored on the single server is a main point of susceptibility and remains an attractive target for the attacker. On the other hand, multi-server architecture based authentication protocols make it difficult for the attacker to find out any signi...

Compound authentication protocols, such as EAP in IKEv2 or SASL over TLS, bind application-level authentication to a transport-level authenticated channel in order to obtain strong composite authentication under weak trust assumptions. Despite their wide deployment, these protocols remain poorly understood, leading to several credential forwarding man-in-themiddle attacks. We present formal mod...

Deniable authenticated protocol is a new cryptographic authentication protocol that enables a designated receiver to identify the source of a given message without being able to prove the identity of the sender to a third party. Therefore, it can be applied to some particular situations in electronic commerce. In this paper, we formally define the security model for the non-interactive ID-based...

Status of This Memo This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract This memo defines an Extensible ...

User authentication is a crucial service in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) that is becoming increasingly common in WSNs because wireless sensor nodes are typically deployed in an unattended environment, leaving them open to possible hostile network attack. Because wireless sensor nodes are limited in computing power, data storage and communication capabilities, any user authentication protocol...

The Secure Shell (SSH) protocol requires all implementations to support public key authentication method (“publickey”) for authentication purposes [2]. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) applications which provide a SSH client over the web browser need to support “publickey”. However, restrictions in HTTP, such as Same Origin Policy, make it difficult to perform such authentications. In this do...
