In this paper we study authentication systems and consider the following scenario: Each encoding rule is used for the transmission of a sequence ofimessages. We prove a lower bound on the probability that a spoofer observingimessages succeeds in generating an authentic message without knowing the encoding rule used. This bound is based on the conditional entropy of the encoding rules when a sequence of messages is known. Authentication systems which meet the bound are investigated and compared with systems that arel-fold secure against spoofing introduced by Massey [8]. We also give a bound for the probability of success if the opponent can choose how many messages he observes before trying to cheat.
