Abstract

Handover authentication protocol enables a mobile node to switch from one base station to another without loss or interruption of service when the node exits the transmission area of his or her current base station. This paper proposes a secure prime-order handover authentication protocol based on bilinear pairings. The proposed protocol adapts the concept of pseudonyms to provide user anonymity and user unlinkability. It withstands well-known security threats and achieves mutual authentication, user unlinkability. A batch signature verification mechanism to verify a mass of signatures is presented in our scheme. We also prove that our scheme is secure under random oracle.
