Abstract

Currently, special attention is being paid to scenarios where the interconnection of devices with heterogeneous computational and communication capabilities it is required. It is essential to integrate security services during the stages of design and deployment of these networks since many of these scenarios provide critical services such as medical health, payment systems, military affairs, access control, e-banking, etc. This work analyses several cryptographic primitives related to entity authentication providing robust solutions according to device capabilities.
