Abstract

Authentication is a mechanism to establish proof of identities, the authentication process ensure that who a particular user is. Current PC, laptop user authentication systems are always done once and hold until it explicitly revoked by the user, or asking the user to frequently reestablish his identity which encouraging him to disable authentication. Zero-Interaction Authentication (ZIA) provides solution to this problem. In ZIA, a user wears a small authentication token that communicates with a laptop over a short-range, wireless link. ZIA combine authentication with a file encryption. Here we proposed a Laptop-user Authentication Based Mobile phone (LABM), in our model of authentication, a user uses his Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone, which work as an authentication token that provides the authentication for laptop over a Bluetooth wireless link, in the concept of transient authentication with out combining it with encryption file system. The user authenticate to the mobile phone infrequently. In turn, the mobile phone continuously authenticates to the laptop by means of the short-range, wireless link.

Highlights

  • In recent years, many people use their office or home PC for their work and store the sensitive information, at the same time mobile computing has enjoyed a tremendous rise in popularity

  • The mobile phone continuously authenticates to the laptop by means of the short-range, wireless link [5]

  • Session Key Creation: Session key is used to encrypt all laptop – mobile phone communication, once session key is established, all information that transfers over the wireless link will not be in clear text format; instead it will be encrypted and authenticated using a session key
