A spread of mobile terminal equipped with short-range wireless
communication device has increased the demand for file sharing through
local and temporary wireless network. However, due to the ease of
sniffing in such network, the file sharing has a risk of leaking in
the communication. In this paper, we focus on secure face-to-face
information exchange especially in wireless visible area network
(WVAN) which is locally and temporarily constructed to communicate
with visible users. More concretely, we evaluate a mutual
authentication method for WVAN. The proposed method enables a
communication pair to mutually authenticate their public keys without
any certificate authority. The main idea of the proposed method is to
authenticate the public keys of the communication pair based on
trusting relationship obtained by a face-to-face
situation. Additionally, users obviously can comprehend authenticated
public keys for others due to a man-in-the-loop approach included in the
process of the authentication. |
