Wired embedded networks must include multicast authentication to prevent masquerade attacks within the network. However, unique constraints for these networks make most existing m...
We study the roles of message components in authentication protocols. In particular, we investigate how a certain component contributes to the task of achieving entity authenticati...
In this paper, we study the application of universal hashingto the construction of unconditionally secure authentication codes without secrecy. This idea is most useful when the nu...
Abstract. The CBC-MAC or cipher block chaining message authentication code, is a well-known method to generate message authentication codes. Unfortunately, it is not forgery-secure...
We provide new security proofs for PMAC, TMAC, and XCBC message authentication modes. The previous security bounds for these modes were σ2 /2n , where n is the block size in bits ...
