description | Authentication is a mechanism to establish proof of identities; it ensures the right
identification of a particular user or a particular system or device. Authentication is
the first step in any cryptography solution, because unless the device knows who is
using it, there is no point in encrypting device's contents. Current PC, laptop user
authentication systems are always done once and held until it is explicitly revoked
by the user, or frequently asking the user to reestablish his identity which
encourages him to disable the authentication. In this thesis we propose a new
model of authentication for laptop devices using a Bluetooth-enabled mobile
phone. In this model the Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone works as an
authentication token that provides the authentication for laptop over a Bluetooth
short-range wireless link. The user doesn't need to authenticate frequently. Instead,
the mobile phone continuously authenticate with the laptop by means of the shortrange
wireless link. This model ensures that a non-legitimate user's mobile phone
cannot provide authentication services to other user's laptops, and it uses an authenticated and encrypted Bluetooth wireless link to ensure that there is no
eavesdropping, modification, and insertion of messages traveled over the link. |
