Abstract
We study a protocol, called BIO3G, which provides biometric-based user authentication and key establishment in Third Generation (3G) mobile environments. BIO3G provides end-to-end user authentication to the mobile operator, requiring no storing or transferring of biometric data and, eliminating the need for biometric enrolment and administration, which is time-consuming for the user and expensive for the mobile operator. We model BIO3G using process algebra Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) and verify it using Schneider’s rank functions.
