Abstract

User privacy is a notable security issue in wireless communications support roaming. However, the mobile authentication schemes existing in the literature cannot achieve this goal in an efficient way. In this paper, we propose a novel lightweight authentication scheme with anonymity and unlinkability for roaming service in large-scale wireless networks. Moreover, we formally analyse our proposed scheme with the BAN-logic and show that it can withstand the several possible attacks.
