Title:
Cryptanalysis of an Anonymous Authentication and Key Agreement Protocol for Secure Wireless Body Area Network

Authors: Mohammad Amin Rakeei, Farokhlagha Moazami

Abstract:

Recently, Kumar and Chand proposed an anonymous authentication protocol for wireless body area network. They claimed that their scheme meets major security requirements and is able to resist known attacks. However, in this paper we demonstrate that their scheme is prone to traceability attack. Followed by this attack, an attacker can launch a man-in-the-middle attack and share a session key with the victim node, and hence the scheme does not achieve secure authentication. Also, we show that this protocol does not provide perfect forward secrecy which considered as a key security property in the design of any secure key agreement protocol.
