This paper proposes a secure authentication mechanism by integrating the public key with the hash-chaining technique. The propose protocol satisfies the security requirements of third generation (3G) mobile networks. Also provide the protection of the international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) to ensure subscriber un-traceability, key refreshment periodically, strong key management and a new non-repudiation service in a simple and elegant way. The proposed protocol is more secure protocol than the other available authentication protocols. To avoid the complicated synchronization as in universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) the proposed protocol does not use sequence number (SEQ), the management of a hash chain is simple and elegant compared to that of SEQ. This proposed protocol is secure against network attacks, such as replay attacks, guessing attacks, and other attacks.
