Abstract
How can we authenticate broadcast messages? This chapter begins to answer our central question. We introduce TESLA, short for Timed Efficient Stream Loss-tolerant Authentication, a protocol for broadcast authentication. TESLA has a number of features, so for clarity of exposition, we develop TESLA in stages. We begin with a basic protocol, and we add additional features in subsequent stages. (In later chapters, we examine alternative approaches to broadcast authentication.)
