Abstract :
We propose three security protocols for mobile communications, which enable mutual authentication and establish a shared secret key between mobile users. They also provide a certain degree of anonymity of the communicating users to other system users. Our protocols are based on a hybrid scheme involving a combination of public key and symmetric key based systems
