Abstract
In this work, we present an authentication protocol derived by the integration of the Kerberos and Lamport authentication schemes. The protocol is targeted to the GSM network, involving users that interact through a mobile phone, and the network provider acting as trusted authority. A prototype application which implements parts of the protocol interaction phases, has been developed in the Javacard framework and is also discussed.
