摘要

Most of the authentication protocols which have been proposed so far are vulnerable to security attacks, and none of them provides non-repudiation property. Therefore, this paper aims to present a novel certificateless and secure mutual authentication scheme using identity-based encryption and bilinear pairings for ad hoc networks. Unlike the existing schemes, our scheme provides non-repudiation and digital signature properties for all network participants in such a way that a receiver of a message can prove who has sent the message. We also provide formal proofs for the security of our scheme using the Burrows, Abadi, and Needham logic and simulate it using the Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications tool. Moreover, we compare our protocol and some related protocols from two perspectives: computational cost and security properties.
