Abstract:

Three types of attacks' scenarios were described when there exists or not sequence number (SQN) in UMTS AKA. Analysis shows that the use of SQN cannot resist replay attacks effectively. Based on that, three new protocols using one-time random number were further analyzed and simulated to resist replay attacks. It is shown that AP-AKA and AKA based on public key cryptography can effectively against replay attacks. However, AP-AKA will add storage and computing resources of entities and AKA based on public key cryptography promotes the complexity of algorithm, but S-AKA only keeps against replay attacks partially.

Key words: authentication and key agreement, replay attack, sequence number, one-time rand number
