ABSTRACT
The new approach is proposed to implementation of theoretically strict identification and authentication of remote users in accordance with zero-knowledge conception. The proposed approach consists in the use of irreversible transformations of the Galois field algebra. This allows us to speed up the process of user identification process both under software and hardware implementation. The cyclic properties of special class Galois field exponentiation have been investigated. Based on those properties the procedures of user registration and user identification procedures have been developed. A numerical example for designed procedures is given. It is shown, both theoretically and experimentally that the proposed approach provides for acceleration of user authentication process by 1-2 orders of magnitude, via a hardware implementation.
