| Abstract | Considering application to communication among wireless sensors, Ma and Tsudik introduced the notion of forward-secure sequential aggregate (FssAgg) authentication in 2007. They also proposed an FssAgg MAC scheme composed of a MAC function and cryptographic hash functions at the same time. The security of their proposed scheme has not been analyzed yet and remains open. It is shown in this paper that a slight variant of the Ma-Tsudik FssAgg MAC scheme is secure under reasonable and standard assumptions on security of the underlying primitives. An efficient instantiation of the underlying MAC function using a cryptographic hash function is also discussed. |
