<p>A system and method for authentication of a peer node using random sequences have been disclosed. An authenticator node (160) is deployed to authenticate a peer node (165) which selects a random prime number, transmits the selected prime number to the peer node (165) and generates random sequences for matching. The peer node (165) receives the prime number and generates random sequences using the received prime number as upper bound, these random sequences are either sent as is to the authenticator node (160) for authentication or are used to encrypt the data to be sent to the authenticator node (160) for authentication. Further, the authenticator node matches the received random sequences generated at the peer node (160) with the locally generated random sequences and in case of a match authenticates the peer node (165).</p> |
