PY - 2019 TI - Design and Development of an Advanced Authentication Protocol for Mobile Applications using NFC Technology JF - Journal of Computer Science VL - 15 IS - 12 DO - 10.3844/jcssp.2019.1809.1819 UR - https://thescipub.com/abstract/jcssp.2019.1809.1819 AB - In this paper, we proposed a new Authentication Protocol for Mobile Applications using NFC technology (AP for MAN). The proposed protocol minimizes the required time to complete the authentication process between the shared entities with a high level of privacy. According to the main security measures, the proposed protocol is evaluated. The current paper presents a new idea for preventing denial of service attack and preserves the limited mobile device capability. The proposed protocol is checked using BAN logic and established that it has no redundancy, the mutual authentication property between the shared parties is verified. The implementation of the proposed protocol shows that it works as designed and it is practical.
