Secure authentication protocol for mobile
V. Kalaichelvi, R. Chandrasekaran · 2008
Traditionally, the authentication protocols for cellular telephone networks have been designed for device authentication rather than user authentication, which bring certain limitations and restrictions on the functionality of the system. In this paper we propose a user authentication protocol for the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) which permits the use of weak secrets (e.g., passwords or PINs) for authentication, providing new flexibilities for GSM users.
