Abstract: M2M (Machine To Machine) communication works using the information shared between devices, between a server and devices and between servers without a direct human intervention. As M2M communication service uses the information of devices, it is crucial to authenticate if devices involved are authorized ones prior to the completion of communication. Also, given the potential vulnerability of communication data to such security threats as theft, exposure and modification, it is necessary to develop a secure authentication method against security threats [1,2]. This paper proposes a protocol for mutual authentication and key exchange between devices in M2M communication. The proposed method ensures secure authentication using hash functions and two nonces. To verify the security performance of the proposed authentication protocol for M2M devices, Casper/FDR verification tools are used. The formal verification results highlight the proposed authentication protocol for M2M devices ensures secure mutual authentication and key exchange against masquerade, replay attack and man in the middles.
