Abstract

Ubiquitous connectivity faces interoperation issues between wireless network providers when authenticating visiting users. This challenge lies in the fact that a foreign network provider does not initially have the authentication credentials of the mobile users. The existing approaches are based on roaming agreement to exchange authentication information between the home network and a foreign network. This paper proposes Passport/Visa approach that consists of two tokens: Passport (authentication token) and Visa (authorisation token), to provide a flexible authentication method for foreign networks to authenticate mobile users. Our approach can be used when there is no roaming agreement between foreign networks and the mobile user's home network. The security analysis indicates that our protocol is resistant to well-known attacks, ant it efficiently ensures the security for both mobile users and network providers. The performance analysis also demonstrated that the proposed protocol will greatly enhance computation, and communication cost.
