Secure authentication mechanism for RFID tag in WLAN convergence 3G networks

Abstract

In the convergence network, the different technologies can be integrated to offer pervasive networking. Although it is able to provide better networking ability, the technical differentiation will make the management be more difficult. Especially when the security issues are considered, it is very necessary and important to develop some proper mechanisms for such a convergence environment. In this paper, we propose a secure authentication mechanism for third‐generation telecommunication (3G) and wireless local area network integrated networks. The proposed scheme is developed based on TS 33.234 and improves the network security with radio frequency identification tags. The analysis shows that the proposed scheme not only provides more functions but also satisfies more secure considerations for authentication in 3G network and wireless local area network convergence environment.

A changeable personal identification number‐based keystroke dynamics authentication system on smart phones

“…For instance, given the original PIN code of one user was 2468, the reset one was 1234. In consequence, the KDA system was used to find out PR 1 , PR 2 , PR 3 , PR 4 , RP 12 , RP 23 , and RP 34 and employed the statistic classifier defined as in Equations (5) and (6) to distinguish. In other words, the user did not need to receive the training process again.…”

“…Aside from phreaking, with the aid of the improvement on Internet technology [3,4], people can access e-banks, buy stocks, pay credit card bills, and utilize other financial services offered by cell phones. Once the thieves use the stolen cell phones to access the subscribers' financial information, suffers may lose a great amount of money.…”

“…On the other hand, when cell phones, which the subscribers do not set their own PIN codes are lost or stolen or the PIN codes are decoded, the stealers may do the phreaking.

TOA: a tag‐owner‐assisting RFID authentication protocol toward access control and ownership transfer

“…RFID technology has been widely applied in many real‐life applications such as contactless passport, books management, inventory control, and supply chain management. However, there are still many security and privacy concerns about RFID applications .…”
