Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method to provide message authentication and integrity for a facsimile (fax) document using Message authentication code (MAC) based approach. The proposed method is divided into two parts; sender and receiver. Basically, at the sender side, a MAC value derived from the fax content and a predefined secret key is added to the document before sending it to the receiver via fax. At the receiver side, the modification of fax content can be detected by the use of the agreed MAC and secret key, and the MAC value added on the received fax. The experimental results, from the fax transmission over insecure communication channels, using different types of fax machine, font types and font sizes, demonstrate the promising results. ฉ 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
