Two Way Authentication Protocol for Android Based Applications

Abstract

In this paper, we present a scheme to authenticate SMS communication. In the suggested scheme authentication text is generated depending upon a ticket. The ticket is generated randomly by the service provider. Our authentication scheme is meant to work on android platform. The Android platform has been dealt as a topic of mobile security because Android is an open platform whose sources can be observed by anyone. Unauthenticated message may create serious problem for many mobile based applications.. In this paper, we have developed a two way authentication system which can work for any mobile based applications in android. We have also used simple hashing technique to create the message digest.
