Abstract
In this paper a novel method for making serial number based authentication protocols resilient against database failure is described. The method is applicable to the situation where a single server wishes to authenticate itself to a number of clients, but cannot reliably maintain a sequence number database. The solution has recently been included in a draft international standard for third generation mobile telecommunications, [1].

Robust Deniable Authentication Protocol
Deniable authentication protocol is a new technique of modern cryptography. The protocol not only enables an intended receiver to identify the source of a received message, but also prevents a third party from identifying the source of the message. ...
Robust key authentication scheme resistant to public key substitution attacks
In the public key cryptosystem, each user owns a private key and a corresponding public key. When two parties want to communicate with each other, the message is encrypted with recipient's public key such that only the recipient can decrypt the ...
