Lecture
This lecture covers access control and password-based cryptography, focusing on protocols like Challenge/Response Protocol and Password Authentication Protocol. It also discusses the challenges of password access control, the human factor, and alternate authentication means such as biometrics. A case study on the biometric passport is presented, detailing the objectives of Machine Readable Travel Documents (MRTD) and the security features like biometrics and contactless IC chips. The lecture concludes with examples of existing protocols in password-based cryptography and the history of MRTD development.
