Abstract :
In a ubiquitous computing environment, various principals can be used at any one time with different devices interconnected by different networks. This paper proposes a mutual authentication method using the biometric information of each device in a situation where one device communicates with another in a heterogeneous environment. The proposed scheme avoids the use of centralized entities and is designed to be agile in a peer-to-peer environment.
