A Strong User Authentication Protocol for GSM
O. Aydemir, Ali Aydın Selçuk · 2006
Traditionally, the authentication protocols for cellular phone networks have been designed for device authentication rather than user authentication, which brings certain limitations and restrictions on the functionality of the system. In this paper, we propose a user authentication protocol for the global standards for mobile (GSM) which permits the use of weak secrets (e.g. passwords or PINs) for authentication, providing new flexibilities for the GSM users.
