Popis: An individual who intends to engage in sensitive transactions using a public terminal such as an ATM needs to trust that (a) all communications are indeed carried out with the intended terminal, (b) such communications are confidential, and (c) the terminal's integrity is guaranteed. Satisfying such requirements prevents man-in-the-middle attacks and eavesdropping. We have analysed several existing transaction schemes and concluded that they tend not to meet all requirements during the entire transaction. We propose a new, generic protocol that provides (a) optional terminal identification, (b) key establishment, and (c) customisable integrity assurance. © 2012 IFIP International Federation for Information Processing.
