A Security Enhanced Authentication Protocol
Preprint
Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) have gained popularity in recent times. With an increase in the number of IoT devices, security and privacy vulnerabilities are also increasing. For sensitive domains like healthcare and industrial sectors, such vulnerabilities can cause havoc. Thus, authentication is an important aspect for establishing a secure communication between various participants. In this paper, we study the two recent authentication and key exchange protocols. We prove that these protocols are vulnerable to replay attack and modification attack, and also suffer from technical correctness. We then present the possible improvements to overcome the discussed vulnerabilities. The enhancement preserves performance of the original protocols.Keywords
