Description
Summary:As the rapid development of wireless LAN and mobile network layer protocol Mobile-IP, a mobile user is allowed to access the service at the visited domain after he has been authenticated. The designing criteria of the inter-domain authentication protocols include: the scalability, the communication efficiency and the computational efficiency, and the robustness of security. In this article, we first show the weakness of some existing protocols against the session key compromise, and then propose a new and efficient inter-domain authentication protocol. Based on public key, challenge–response and hash chaining, this new approach simultaneously achieves several practical merits: (1) good scalability, (2) low communication cost and low computational cost, and (3) resistance to the session key compromise attack.
