Wireless network authentication schemes have been researched for about a decade, and associated security problems explored by many researchers. In 2004, Zhu and Ma proposed an authentication scheme for wireless environments. Afterwards other researchers proposed improvements according to Zhu-Ma scheme. Mutual authentication is one of the most important issues. To the best of our knowledge, there is no scheme that allows a foreign agent to authenticate the home agent and mobile user at the same time. Towards this purpose, we propose a simultaneous authentication scheme based on chaotic maps, and describe how our proposed scheme addresses various security problems while maintain anonymity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
