  • Abstract
    Recently, an efficient homomorphic MAC scheme for authentication in network coding is proposed and it is claimed that it achieves a security parameter 1=ql where l is selected according to different security requirements. However, in this paper, we show that there is an attack to make the security parameter 1=q instead of 1=ql. And we propose a way to avoid the presented attack.
