A Novel Lightweight Authentication Protocol for YML Framework

Abstract

Abstract-YML framework is a well-adapted advanced tool to support designing and executing portable parallel applications over large scale peer to peer and grid middleware. It is necessary to introduce some security mechanisms for the improvement and extension of the framework. To secure the authentication process, a novel lightweight authentication protocol was proposed, enabling the legitimate user to log in YML efficiently, with 2 XOR and 1 HASH operations. The protocol can resist denial of service attack, replay attack, and even all the knowledge of the user was stolen, the system still can recovery the permission of the user which has been attacked effectively by updating the value of the corresponding parameter.
