Abstract

Abstract

To solve the problem of key leakages in existing physical layer challenge-response authentication schemes, a physical layer authentication scheme based on hash method is proposed. The channel characteristics are extracted and linked with the key which can be regarded as a curve. Then a fault-tolerant hash function is employed to map the curve into a response with lower dimension. The authenticator lastly sets the threshold according to the authentication requirement and further to verify the identity of the requester. The hash function is an underdetermined system and attackers can not recover the curve according to the response. Simulation results prove the effectiveness of the scheme whose attack rate is less than10-5 while attack rates for existing schemes are almost 0.5 under the SNR of 4 dB.
