“…Based on elliptic curve cryptography, Yoon et al [26] proposed a user-friendly authentication protocol for GLOMONET. However, Niu and Li [27] found that their scheme had the same drawbacks as the scheme in [24]. In 2012, Mun et al [28] proposed an improved authentication scheme for GLOMONET.…”

In today’s society, Global Mobile Networks (GLOMONETs) have become an important network infrastructure that provides seamless roaming service for mobile users when they leave their home network. Authentication is an essential mechanism for secure communication among the mobile user, home network, and foreign network in GLOMONET. Recently, Madhusudhan and Shashidhara presented a lightweight authentication protocol for roaming application in GLOMONET. However, we found their protocol not only has design flaws, but is also vulnerable to many attacks. To address these weaknesses, this paper proposes a novel authentication protocol with strong security for GLOMONET based on previous work. The fuzzy verifier technique makes the protocol free from smart card breach attack, while achieving the feature of local password change. Moreover, the computational intractability of the Discrete Logarithm Problem (DLP) guarantees the security of the session key. The security of the protocol is verified by the ProVerif tool. Compared with other related protocols, our protocol achieves a higher level of security at the expense of small increases in computational cost and communication cost. Therefore, it is more suitable for securing the roaming application in GLOMONET.

“…Yoon et al [ 25 ] presented a new lightweight authentication protocol to handle the loopholes of different protocol with the features of mutual authentication, user friendliness, User anonymity. Niu et al [ 26 ] pointed out the Yoon et al [ 25 ] protocol and proved that protocol does not provide user anonymity and also has an insecure key management system. Therefore, Niu.…”

Global Mobility Networks(GLOMONETs) in wireless communication permits the global roaming services that enable a user to leverage the mobile services in any foreign country. Technological growth in wireless communication is also accompanied by new security threats and challenges. A threat-proof authentication protocol in wireless communication may overcome the security flaws by allowing only legitimate users to access a particular service. Recently, Lee et al. found Mun et al. scheme vulnerable to different attacks and proposed an advanced secure scheme to overcome the security flaws. However, this article points out that Lee et al. scheme lacks user anonymity, inefficient user authentication, vulnerable to replay and DoS attacks and Lack of local password verification. Furthermore, this article presents a more robust anonymous authentication scheme to handle the threats and challenges found in Lee et al.’s protocol. The proposed protocol is formally verified with an automated tool(ProVerif). The proposed protocol has superior efficiency in comparison to the existing protocols.

“…Later, Shin et al came up with a novel authentication scheme and claimed that their scheme attained all the security requirements. Later, some other anonymous authentication schemes in ubiquitous networks for accessing roaming services were proposed. However, all these schemes are insecure against known attacks.…”

Ubiquitous networks provide effective roaming services for mobile users (MUs). Through the worldwide roaming technology, authorized MUs can avail ubiquitous network services. Important security issues to be considered in ubiquitous networks are authentication of roaming MUs and protection of privacy of MUs. However, because of the broadcast nature of wireless channel and resource limitations of terminals, providing efficient user authentication with privacy preservation is a challenging task. Very recently, Farash et al. proposed an authentication scheme with anonymity for consumer roaming in ubiquitous networks and claimed their scheme achieves all security requirements. In this paper, we show that the scheme of Farash et al. fails to achieve user anonymity and mutual authentication. Their scheme also fails to provide local password verification, and it has a faulty password change phase. Moreover, their scheme is vulnerable to replay, offline password guessing, and forgery attacks. To fix the security flaws of the scheme of Farash et al., we present an improved authentication scheme for accessing roaming service provided by ubiquitous networks. We then formally verify the security properties of our scheme by the widely‐accepted push‐button tool called Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications. Security and performance analyses show that our scheme is more powerful, efficient, and secure when it is compared with existing schemes. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
