Abstract

A number of well-known authentication protocols are considered in the context of next-generation mobile and CE network services. The potential weaknesses of current protocols can be overcome using Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) techniques to protect user passwords so an alternative ZKP protocol, SeDiCi 2.0, is described. This offers mutual and also two-factor authentication that is considered more secure against various phishing attempts than existing trusted third party protocols. The suitability of such a ZKP protocol for various CE-based cloud computing applications is demonstrated.
