Federated and decentralized networks supporting frequently changing system participants are a requirement for future Internet of Things (IoT) use cases. IoT devices and networks often lack adequate authentication and authorization…
In today's digital age, personal data is constantly at risk of compromise. Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE) has emerged as a promising approach to privacy-preserving data protection. This paper proposes an anonymous authentication mechanism…
Identification schemes are interactive protocols typically involving two parties, a prover, who wants to provide evidence of his or her identity and a verifier, who checks the provided evidence and decide whether it comes or not from the…
As nowadays most web application requests originate from mobile devices, authentication of mobile users is essential in terms of security considerations. To this end, recent approaches rely on machine learning techniques to analyze various…
Most user authentication methods and identity proving systems rely on a centralized database. Such information storage presents a single point of compromise from a security perspective. If this system is compromised it poses a direct threat…
Recent trend towards cloud computing paradigm, smart devices and 4G wireless technologies has enabled seamless data sharing among users. Cloud computing environment is distributed and untrusted, hence data owners have to encrypt their data…
Digital identity has always been considered the keystone for implementing secure and trustworthy communications among parties. The ever-evolving digital landscape has gone through many technological transformations that have also affected…
The modern enterprise is facing an unprecedented surge in digital identities, with machine identities now significantly outnumbering human identities. This paper examines the cybersecurity risks emerging from what we define as the…
Digital identities are increasingly important for mediating not only digital but also physical service transactions. Managing such identities through centralized providers can cause both availability and privacy concerns: single points of…
This paper presents a comprehensive classification of identity management approaches. The classification makes use of three axes: topology, type of user, and type of environment. The analysis of existing approaches using the resulting…
This paper proposes a novel remote user authentication scheme using smart cards which allows both the authentication server (AS) and the user to verify authenticity of each other. Our scheme is efficient enough to resist the known attacks…
Nowadays, most mobile devices support biometric authentication schemes like fingerprint or face unlock. However, these probabilistic mechanisms can only be activated in combination with a second alternative factor, usually knowledge-based…
Blockchain technology, which was introduced for supporting cryptocurrencies, today provides a decentralized infrastructure for general information storage and execution of algorithms, thus enabling the conversion of many applications and…
Anonymous Single-Sign-On authentication schemes have been proposed to allow users to access a service protected by a verifier without revealing their identity which has become more important due to the introduction of strong privacy…
Home automation Internet of Things (IoT) systems have recently become a target for several types of attacks. In this paper, we present an authentication and key agreement protocol for a home automation network based on the ZigBee standard,…
In light of the GDPR, data controllers (DC) need to allow data subjects (DS) to exercise certain data subject rights. A key requirement here is that DCs can reliably authenticate a DS. Due to a lack of clear technical specifications, this…
Authentication is the first defence mechanism in many electronic systems, including Internet of Things (IoT) applications, as it is essential for other security services such as intrusion detection. As existing authentication solutions…
As mobile devices become ubiquitous, people around the world have enjoyed the convenience they have brought to our lives. At the same time, the increasing security threats that rise from using mobile devices not only have caught attention…
Biometric authentication is getting increasingly popular due to the convenience of using unique individual traits, such as fingerprints, palm veins, irises. Especially fingerprints are widely used nowadays due to the availability and low…
For secure communication it is not just sufficient to use strong cryptography with good and strong keys, but to actually have the assurance, that the keys in use for it are authentic and from the contact one is expecting to communicate…
