Abstract

SIP (Session Initial Protocol) has been a very popular protocol for VoIP. However, the authentication of this protocol just derives from HTTP digest authentication, which has been demonstrated insecure in the open network. Recently, Arshad et al. proposed an improved mutual authentication scheme based on ECC and claimed that it's secure enough. In this paper, however, we point out that their protocol still could not resist offline password guessing attacks. Furthermore, we propose an ECC-based mutual authentication and key agreement scheme to overcome such a security problem. Also, an analysis of it is provided to indicate that compared to Arshad et al.'s scheme, this scheme reduces twice hash operation and is more secure with reasonable computation cost.
