“…Many papers [9,13,29] have stated that only asymmetric cryptography can solve the security threats of the third generation mobile phone system. They used the techniques of asymmetric cryptography, such as the RSA [27], the PKI [7,14], and the certificate [20] to solve authentication and key establishment issues.…”

UMTS is the most popular third-generation mobile phone system at present, and the UMTS AKA is his authentication and key agreement protocol. There are some weaknesses in the existed UMTS AKA protocol, such as synchronization question, storage overhead, insecurity with leakiness authentication vector, and weakness in mutual authentications. In this paper, we use the concept of proxy key to design a more secure and more efficient UMTS AKA protocol. Our protocol not only resists above-mentioned drawback of the original UMTS AKA protocol on the security, but also can improve the performance of UMTS AKA protocol, including the computational overhead, storage overhead, and communication overhead.

“…PK AKA [7,8,9] Hybrid AKA [12,13] Mutual authentication between ME and AN The security of our scheme is based on the GPS [25] identification scheme, which was proposed by Girault and proven secure by Poupard and Stern [26]. The security analysis shows that if an attacker is able to forge valid signatures for a non-negligible fraction of the possible public keys then he is able to compute discrete logs mod N and therefore to factor N. On the other hand if an attacker is only able to forge signatures for a fixed key then he must be able to compute the discrete log of this key or to solve the so-called strong RSA problem as it was noticed by Camenisch and Michels in [27].…”

The developing next generation (4G) mobile communication system will offer us great convenience and huge opportunities of service creation with numerous security threats. As a critical security mechanism, user authentication and key agreement (AKA) schemes have received considerable attentions in recent years. In this paper, a AKA scheme (SPAKA) based on self-certified public-key is proposed for the coming 4G system to reduce the storage, computation and communicational load of existing public-key based user authentication schemes while improving the security of 3G AKA scheme. Three authentication protocols including first-time authentication, re-authentication and handoff authentication are designed respectively for different authentication scenarios. According to the performance analysis, our approach has outperformed related schemes by providing better flexibility and scalability while maintain the expected security and efficiency. Consequently, it is more appropriate for 4G wireless system.Index Terms -Security of Wireless network, Authentication, Self-certified public-key, 4G wireless network.
