This addresses security issues in message authentication for systems with potential untrusted receivers, but it appears incremental as it combines existing MAC methods.
The authors tackled the problem of message authentication by proposing InterCW-MAC, a generic MAC that prevents replay attacks and handles untrusted receivers who might search for sender secret keys.
Message Authentication Code (MAC) is a method for providing integrity and authenticity assurances on the message by allowing the receiver to detect any changes to the message content. In this paper, we present a generic MAC named InterCW-MAC which can prevent replay attack and can deal with a untrusted receiver who may search the secret keys of the sender.
