A cross-domain authentication protocol based on hypercube

In this article, we present a cross-domain protocol model based on hypercube, analysis of the theorem and simulation results. Utilizing the structural features of hypercube, the model supports mutual authentication between the entities in different trust domains. Compared with traditional cross-domain authentication model, the proposed model reduces the register workload among authentication servers and simplifies the distributed and management of shared keys among authentication servers. The model could also avoid network bottleneck and single point collapse problems. Analysis shows that the protocol model is secure and reliable. Therefore, the application servers can effectively carry out access control to ensure network security.
