Abstract

Timestamp-based authentication and key establishment protocols have received a number of criticisms, despite their potential efficiency advantages. The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel timestamp management method which has the potential to increase the scope of applicability of such protocols. Since timestamp-based protocols typically involve one less message than challenge-response protocols, the potential efficiency gains are considerable.
