Abstract
A fast handover authentication scheme is essential to seamless services for delay-sensitive applications in wireless networks. User privacy is a notable issue which should be considered in secure communications. This paper proposes a new privacy-aware handover authentication scheme. The proposed scheme achieves user privacy with good performance.
