Ultra-Lightweight Authentication Protocol Based on Distribution Terminal Fingerprint

Abstract:

With the development of information technology in power industry, information security of the distribution automation system is facing increasing challenge. To meet the device authentication demand and the limited resources in power distribution terminal, the concept of distribution terminal fingerprint is presented according to the physical and behavioral features in terminal. And then, an ultra-lightweight mutual authentication protocol based on the message authentication code algorithm is proposed. The message authentication code of the messages sent by both communication parties is calculated with the distribution terminal fingerprint as the key to achieve mutual authentication of the terminal and the master station without any cryptosystems. Finally, security and performance analysis is given. The results show that the proposed protocol can provide mutual authentication of the communicating parties, resist several attacks with small amount of calculation and simple protocol. Therefore, it can meet the resource requirements of the distribution terminal.
