I would recommend Ross Anderson's book, *Security Engineering*. He has
some excellent material on cryptographic authentication (snf other)
protocols. The complete 2nd edition of his most excellent book is available
online as well as select chapters of his 3rd edition, but IMO it is really
worth buying.
Chapter 4 is the chapter on Protocols (3rd edition not online).
Google for
ross anderson security engineering pdf 2nd edition
and it should pop up. His official site of https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/
only seems to be carrying the 3rd edition, of which Chapter 4 is missing.
