A SECURE MUTUAL AUTHENTICATION SCHEME WITH USER ANONYMITY AND SESSION KEY AGREEMENT FOR MOBILE APPLICATIONS USING CLOUD COMPUTING

Abstract

Mobile devices that run on batteries are easy to use anytime, anyplace. The majority of people use mobile devices these days, such as smartphones and tablet computers, to access mobile services anywhere, at any time. The greatest way to increase smartphone usage is through effective computational offloading, which transfers resource-intensive tasks from mobile devices to distant cloud servers, increasing processing power and supporting a wider range of application categories. Without the established security of entity verification, this technique is having trouble offloading the process to a distant cloud server.  Cloud computing is an emerging technology, along with massive storage and privacy-based services. Many commercial products now offer inclusive usage for real-time application due to the integration of cloud computing and remote devices. An essential component of the effective integration of access controls and authentication is the cloud computing environment's security alarms, which include information confidentiality and authentication. In this paper, using the modified El-Gamal Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem (ECC) and new secret keys created by employing Discrete Logarithm Problem (DLP) behavior, we propose a two-way authentication protocol. This update aims to increase security and provide improved encryption standards. The empirical findings demonstrate that the suggested algorithm is more secure than the initial procedure. The suggested system provides mutual authentication, meets all fundamental security requirements, and generates a session key for each new session in order to facilitate future communication. The security analysis of the suggested plan shows that it is more secure and resistant to a variety of threats.
