An Asymptotic Theorem for Substitution-Resistant Authentication Codes

  • Chapter
Eurocode ’92

Part of the book series: International Centre for Mechanical Sciences ((CISM,volume 339))

Abstract

We prove a Shannon-theoretic theorem for authentication codes resistant against impersonation and substitution. The code construction is based upon block-designs. We conjecture that this construction is asymptotically the best possible.
