Deniable authentication is different from traditional authentication in that the receiver cannot prove the source of a given message to a third party. This article presents a new deniable authentication protocol, based on ElGamal cryptography. The protocol meets the two properties of deniable authentication and can withstand person-in-middle (PIM) attacks. Compared with previous schemes, it is simpler and more efficient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
