19、eThis part of ISO/IEC 9798 specifies entity authentication mechanisms using a cryptographic check function. Twomechanisms are concerned with the authentication of a single entity (unilateral authentication), while the remainingare mechanisms for mutual authentication of two entities.The mechanisms s

20、pecified in this part of ISO/IEC 9798 use time variant parameters such as time stamps,sequence numbers, or random numbers, to prevent valid authentication information from being accepted at a latertime or more than once.If a time stamp or sequence number is used, one pass is needed for unilateral au

21、thentication, while two passes areneeded to achieve mutual authentication. If a challenge and response method employing random numbers isused, two passes are needed for unilateral authentication, while three passes are required to achieve mutualauthentication.Examples of cryptographic check function

This is achieved by the entity using itssecret key with a cryptographic check function applied to specific data to obtain a

Thecryptographic check value can be checked by anyone sharing the entitys secret authentication key, who can re-calculate the cryptographic check value and compare it with the value received.this part of ISO/IEC 9798.

If any one of these is not met then theauthentication process may be compromised or it cannot be implemented.a) A claimant authe

28、nticating itself to a verifier shares a common secret authentication key with that verifier. Thiskey shall be known to the involved parties prior to the commencement of any particular run of an authenticationmechanism. The method by which the key is distributed to the entities is beyond the scope of

29、 this part ofISO/IEC 9798.b) The secret authentication key shared by a claimant and a verifier shall be known only to those two entities and,possibly, to other parties they both trust.c) The strength of the mechanisms is dependent on the length and the secrecy of the key, on the nature of thecryptog

30、raphic check functions, and on the length of the check value. These parameters shall be chosen tomeet the required security level, as may be specified by the security policy.5 MechanismsIn these authentication mechanisms the entities A and B shall share a common secret authentication key KABor twoun

31、idirectional secret keys KABand KBAprior to the commencement of any particular run of the authenticationmechanisms. In the latter case, the unidirectional keys KABand KBAare used respectively for the authentication of Aby B and of B by A.The mechanisms require the use of time variant parameters such

32、 as time stamps, sequence numbers or randomnumbers. The properties of the time variant parameters are important for the security of these mechanisms. Inparticular, the parameters shall be chosen so that it shall be most unlikely for them to repeat within the lifetime ofan authentication key. For add

33、itional information see annex B of ISO/IEC 9798-1.The use of the text fields specified in the following mechanisms is outside the scope of this part of ISO/IEC 9798(they may be empty), and will depend upon the specific application. See annex A for information on the use of textfields.A text field ma

34、y only be included in the input to the cryptographic check function if the verifier can determine itindependently, e.g., if it is known in advance, sent in clear or can be derived from one or both of those sources.5.1 Unilateral authenticationUnilateral authentication means that only one of the two

35、entities is authenticated by use of the mechanism.5.1.1 One pass authenticationIn this authentication mechanism the claimant A initiates the process and is authenticated by the verifier B.Uniqueness/timeliness is controlled by generating and checking a time stamp or a sequence number (see annex Bof

36、ISO/IEC 9798-1).The authentication mechanism is illustrated in figure 1.A B(1) TokenAB(2)Figure 1The form of the token (TokenAB), sent by the claimant A to the verifier B is:)1Text|(|2Text|Token BNTfNTABAAKAAAB=ISO/IEC 9798-4:1999(E) ISO/IEC 1999 All rights reserved3where the claimant A uses either

41、 A is authenticated by the verifier B who initiates the process.Uniqueness/timeliness is controlled by generating and checking a random number RB(see annex B of ISO/IEC9798-1).The authentication mechanism is illustrated in figure 2.A B(1) RB| Text1(3)(2) TokenABFigure 2The form of the token (TokenAB

43、intruder reflects the challenge RBto B pretending to be A. The inclusion of thedistinguishing identifier B is made optional so that, in environments where such attacks cannot occur, it may beomitted.The distinguishing identifier B may also be omitted if a unidirectional key is used.(1) B generates a

46、ated to each other by use of themechanism.The two mechanisms described in 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 are adapted in 5.2.1 and 5.2.2, respectively, to achieve mutualauthentication. In both cases this requires one more pass and results in two more steps.NOTE A third mechanism for mutual authentication can be con

47、structed from two instances of the mechanismspecified in 5.1.2, one started by entity A and the other by entity B.5.2.1 Two pass authenticationIn this authentication mechanism uniqueness/timeliness is controlled by generating and checking time stamps orsequence numbers (see annex B of ISO/IEC 9798-1
