Multi-factor Physical Layer Security Authentication in Short Blocklength Communication
Lightweight and low latency security schemes at the physical layer that have
recently attracted a lot of attention include: (i) physical unclonable
functions (PUFs), (ii) localization based authentication, and, (iii) secret key
generation (SKG) from wireless fading coefficients. In this paper, we focus on
short blocklengths and propose a fast, privacy preserving, multi-factor
authentication protocol that uniquely combines PUFs, proximity estimation and
SKG. We focus on delay constrained applications and demonstrate the performance
of the SKG scheme in the short blocklength by providing a numerical comparison
of three families of channel codes, including half rate low density parity
check codes (LDPC), Bose Chaudhuri Hocquenghem (BCH), and, Polar Slepian Wolf
codes for n=512, 1024. The SKG keys are incorporated in a zero-round-trip-time
resumption protocol for fast re-authentication. All schemes of the proposed
mutual authentication protocol are shown to be secure through formal proofs
using Burrows, Abadi and Needham (BAN) and Mao and Boyd (MB) logic as well as
the Tamarin-prover
