Secure Authentication Scheme with Anonymity for Wireless Environments

With the development of wireless networks and the use of mobile devices, mobile user's privacy issue is becoming more and more important. Privacy includes ID anonymity and unlinkability. Unlinkability requires that any two temporary IDs which have been used before should not be associated with each other. In other words, these temporary IDs should be generated in such a way that no direct relationship among them should be derived. The existing schemes only focus on ID anonymity of mobile users. In this paper, we proposed a scheme not only holding all the merits of previous works, but also achieving unlinkability which is guaranteed by using one-time-use temporary ID. And the mobile user can also updates its one-time-use temporary ID with the help of the visited foreign agent.
