Abstract :
In future ubiquitous networks, devices that accept any connections over a network will need to verify the identity of a connecting peer to prevent device spoofing. In this paper, we propose an authentication framework not for human beings, but for devices. The proposed Simple Device Authentication Framework has the advantages of realizing both production-level identity using serial numbers initialized by the manufacturer, and owner-level personalized device attributes set up by users. Our proposed framework employs smart card technology to add an authentication function to a device such as an information appliance with a poor user interface. We have implemented the core component of this framework- novel smart card software and its configuration tools- to achieve device-oriented authentication.
