AUTHENTICATION PROTOCOL FOR MOBILE USER REGISTRATION IN PERSONAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
个人通信系统中的一种移动用户登记认证协议

Impersonation and eavesdropping are the crucial threats in wireless communication systems. In personal communication systems (PCS), it is necessary to provide security protection on the voice/data transmitted over wireless links, and perform mutual authentication between mobile user and serving network. Recently, many protocols are proposed for different mobile networks, such as GSM, IS-41, CDPD and wireless LAN. However, these protocols have different weakness when they are applied in PCS environment. Based on the public-key P&A model proposed by M.J. Seller, et al.(1993), this paper presents an authentication protocol for mobile user registration. Then the formalized security proof of the protocol using BAN authentication logic, and the qualitative analysis about its computing complexity are given. Results show that many new security features are added to the proposed protocols when it is compared with the protocols available.
