Adaptive authentication and key agreement mechanism for future cellular systems
Since the radio medium can be accessed by anyone, authentication of users is a very important element of a mobile network. Nowadays, in GSM/GPRS a challenge response protocol is used to authenticate the user to the mobile network. Similarly, in third generation mobile systems [3] a challenge response protocol was chosen in such a way as to achieve maximum compatibility with the current GSM security architecture. Both authentication mechanisms use symmetric key cryptography because of the limited processing power of the mobile devices. However, recent research [6] has shown that asymmetric, or public, key cryptography can be enabled successfully in future mobile terminals. In this paper, we propose a new adaptive authentication and key agreement protocol (AAKA) for future mobile communication systems. The novelty of AAKA and its main advantage over other challenge response protocols is that can be adaptive to the mobile environment and use symmetric and/or public key cryptography for user and network authentication
Key distribution in PKC through Quantas
Cryptography literally means "The art & science of secret writing & sending a
message between two parties in such a way that its contents cannot be
understood by someone other than the intended recipient". and Quantum word is
related with "Light". Thus, Quantum Cryptography is a way of descripting any
information in the form of quantum particles. There are no classical
cryptographic systems which are perfectly secure. In contrast to Classical
cryptography which depends upon Mathematics, Quantum Cryptography utilizes the
concepts of Quantum Physics which provides us the security against the
cleverest marauders of the present age. In the view of increasing need of
Network and Information Security, we do require methods to overcome the
Molecular Computing technologies (A future technology) and other techniques of
the various codebrakers. Both the parts i.e. Quantum Key distribution and
Information transference from Sender to Receiver are much efficient and secure.
It is based upon BB84 protocol. It can be of great use for Govt. agencies such
as Banks, Insurance, Brokerages firms, financial institutions, e-commerce and
most important is the Defense & security of any country. It is a Cryptographic
communication system in which the original users can detect unauthorized
eavesdropper and in addition it gives a guarantee of no eavesdropping. It
proves to be the ultra secure mode of communication b/w two intended parties.Comment: 11 Pages, JGraph-Hoc Journal 201
Space division multiplexing chip-to-chip quantum key distribution
Quantum cryptography is set to become a key technology for future secure
communications. However, to get maximum benefit in communication networks,
transmission links will need to be shared among several quantum keys for
several independent users. Such links will enable switching in quantum network
nodes of the quantum keys to their respective destinations. In this paper we
present an experimental demonstration of a photonic integrated silicon chip
quantum key distribution protocols based on space division multiplexing (SDM),
through multicore fiber technology. Parallel and independent quantum keys are
obtained, which are useful in crypto-systems and future quantum network
A Comparison of Cryptographic Methods
While elliptic curve cryptography and quantum cryptography are significantly different branches of cryptography, they provide a suitable reference point for comparison of the value of developing methods used in the present and investing in methods to be used in the future. Elliptic curve cryptography is quite common today, as it is generally secure and efficient. However, as the field of cryptography advances, the value of quantum cryptography’s inherent security from its basic properties should be considered, as a fully realized quantum cryptosystem has the potential to be quite powerful. Ultimately, it is of critical importance to determine the value of investing in strengthening current cryptosystems in comparison to seeking to accelerate the development of new ones. While both are of importance, the question should be asked if one avenue of development will be more effective overall
