Abstract: A new systematic authentication scheme based on the Gray map over Galois rings is introduced. The Gray map determines an isometry between the Galois ring and a vector space over a Galois eld. The introduced code attains optimal impersonation and substitution probabilities.

Category / Keywords: secret-key cryptography / Authentication codes; optimality against impersonation and substitution attacks; Gray map; Galois rings.
