As the easiest and cheapest way of authenticating an end user, password based authentication methods have been consistently chosen by almost every new cloud service. Unfortunately, the explosive growth of cloud services and web applications has made it impossible for users to manage dozens of passwords for accessing different cloud services. The situation is even worse considering the potential application...
The combination of tokens or cards and personal identification numbers (PINs) are widely used for authentication in many applications including automatic teller machines (ATMs) and point of sales (POSs). Recent security incidents have shown that criminals can get these authentication tokens or cards either by pickpocketing or through fake magnetic card readers. Furthermore, PINs may also be captured...
There have been extensive studies on RFID security, in particular authentication and privacy issues. In most protocols, the discussions focus on scenarios that RFID tags are used mainly for tracing or identification, and the access to data stored on RFID is enforced through authentication. Recently, there rise interests of using RFID tags as distributed storage, e.g., storing floorplans which can...
Two-factor authentication techniques using combination of magnetic cards and personal identification numbers (PINs) are widely used in many applications including automatic teller machines and point of sales. Similar to other valuable personal possessions, cards can be easily stolen by pickpockets. Furthermore, recent security reports show that magnetic cards can be easily duplicated using fake card...
Multicast security is one of the most important security services in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) since it enables a sink to multicast messages to sensors in a secure manner. While multicast authentication has widely been addressed in the literature, the problem of multicast encryption still remains open in WSNs. In this paper, we propose a multicast encryption scheme called global-partition, local-diffusion...
