Trusted Anonymous Authentication Scheme for Trusted Network Connection in Mobile Environment

Abstract

Technologies make the mobile terminals such as smart phones, PDAs and handsets much more powerful to access mobile network in recent years. Especially with the widely use of mobile terminals, mobile network now becomes a primary tool for daily and business interactions. However, the proliferation of mobile terminals also draws mobile malware’s attention which will do damage to the mobile terminal and further affect the security of mobile network. But the traditional access control and authentication mechanism cannot resolve such security issues. On the basis of trusted computing technology, we proposed a mobile trusted network architecture by extending the trusted network connection in mobile environment. And an improvement EAP-EHash method is used in the proposed architecture to implement authentication. We defined two service scenarios in the authentication scheme, home network authentication and roaming network authentication. The process of each scenario is described in detail. By introducing the pseudonym mechanism, our scheme can protect user identity. And the connection status not only depends on the identification process, but also the trust status of the platform. The analysis shows that our scheme benefits the properties of user identity anonymity, mutual authentication, fake agent resistance, platform integrity verification, EAP and TNC Compatible. And the ciphersuite negotiation makes our scheme more suitable for resource limited mobile terminals

A Novel Trusted Computing Model for Network Security Authentication

“…Combining digital watermarking with digital signature, a signature authentication method for the time information, motion feature and DCT coefficient of MPEG videos was proposed [4].In order to assure a trusted cloud infrastructure to customers, the multi-tenancy trusted computing environment model was designed [5]. An image authentication using sliding window and hierarchical structure technology was proposed, which is based on SHA512 and hash function for knapsack problem [6]. A multi-domain reliable grid model of identity-sensitive and P2P distributed authentication technology were separately proposed based on PKI [7,8].…”

Research on Security Access and Authentication Technology of Power Terminal Based on TNC

“…However, it also brings serious security problems while provides convenience. In the wireless network communication, the datas transferred by kinds of wireless power terminals through wireless channel are easily attacked by such means as monitoring and stealing [1] .…”
