In this paper we propose a user authentication protocol for the Global Standards for Mobile (GSM) which permits the use of weak secrets (e.g. passwords or PINs) for authentication, providing new flexibilities for the GSM users. © 2005 IEEE.EnglishGSMStrong password protocolsUser authenticationWireless network securityAuthentication protocolsPassword protocolsCellular telephone systemsCodes (symbols)Mobile computingNetwork protocolsSecurity of dataStandardsGlobal system for mobile communicationsConference Paper10.1109/WETICE.2005.12
