Controllable anonymous authentication protocol in wireless communications
一种无线可控匿名认证协议

An anonymous authentication protocol was proposed to improve the anonymity and to control anonymity abuse in wireless communications. The protocol implemented the anonymity of Home Location Register (HLR) using Visitor Location Registers (VLRs) which had been employed to forward the authentication message by Mobile Station (MS). Through checking the authentication token, this protocol could control anonymity abuse. The probability statistics were adopted to analyze the security and anonymity of this protocol. The analysis results show that this protocol not only improves the anonymity of HLR but also defends anonymity abuse effectively.
