Formal Analysis and Model Checking of a Group Authentication Protocol by Scyther
2016
Scyther [1] is designed to check the security and vulnerabilities of security protocols. In this paper, we use Scyther to analyze two discrete logarithm problem (DLP) based group authentication protocols proposed in [2]. These two protocols are claimed to satisfy several security requirements, but only part of them have been checked because of the properties and limitations of Scyther. Some positive results have been gained and show that the protocols provide mutual authentication and implicit key authentication and are secure against impersonation attack. An important innovation in this paper is that we have extended the expressing ability of Scyther by giving some reasonable assumption du…
A general framework for group authentication and key exchange protocols
2014
Published version of a chapter in the book: Foundations and Practice of Security. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-05302-8_3 In this paper, we propose a novel framework for group authentication and key exchange protocols. There are three main advantages of our framework. First, it is a general one, where different cryptographic primitives can be used for different applications. Second, it works in a one-to-multiple mode, where a party can authenticate several parties mutually. Last, it can provide several security features, such as protection against passive adversaries and impersonate attacks, implicit key authentication, forward and backward securi…
