Abstract
With a network communication requires cryptography authentication for secure transmission.
This paper takes two challenge-response protocols by which entities may authenticate
their identities to one another in a mutual communication way. Here the two entities, each
holding a share of a decryption exponent, collaborate to compute a signature under the
corresponding public key. These may be used during session initiation, and at any other
time that entity authentication is necessary. The authentication of an entity depends on the
verification of the claimant’s binding with its key pair and the verification of the claimant’s
digital signature on the random number challenge. The network defined mutually
authenticated protocols are for entity authentication based on public key cryptography,
which uses digital signatures and random number challenges. Authentication based on
public key cryptography has an advantage over many other authentication schemes because
no secret information has to be shared by the entities involved in the exchange. This paper
analyzes the protocols, which minimizes cost, very simple and suggests security for mutually
signing the signature schemes and provides proofs of security for the safer communication.
This paper specifies the way of mutual communication and the method of processing that
conversation between entities.
