A Reliable Authentication Protocol For Peer To Peer Based Applications

The importance of data communication has taken a sharp increment due to digitalization. The security of data communication is a key issue and authentication mechanisms are the backbone of secure and reliable data communication. Researchers are trying to find lightweight authentication algorithms which can be used in variety of applications and useful for mobile phones as well. In this paper we propose an innovative mechanism of certificate generation for authentication. A user can run the entire mechanism without any external help. The certificate can be verified and stored by the receiver for further cryptographic usage. We also provide security analysis and advantages of the proposed mechanism briefly.
