We prove the security of our UGZK protocol and discuss special cases. Compared to UZK, the new protocol allows to prove knowledge of a vector of secrets instead of only one secret. We also provide the reader with a hash variant of UGZK and the corresponding security analysis. Last but not least, we extend Cogliani et al.’s lightweight authentication protocol by describing a new distributed unified authentication scheme suitable for wireless sensor networks and, more generally, the Internet of Things. %G English %Z TC 11 %Z WG 11.2 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-03173896/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-03173896/file/492809_1_En_3_Chapter.pdf %L hal-03173896 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-03173896 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC11 %~ IFIP-WISTP %~ IFIP-WG11-2 %~ IFIP-LNCS-12024
