摘要

The development of world communication and information technology is very advanced. The use of the Internet and smart cards makes it easier for users to conduct remote transactions, and security factors are the key to successful remote users' transactions. In this case, the authentication process is critical to maintaining confidentiality when transactions use public channels. Recently, Moon et al. proposed an efficient and secure smart card based password authentication scheme. They claimed that their scheme is more secure and practical as a remote user authentication scheme. However, Irawan and Hwang found that the Moon et al.'s scheme was still unable to withstand gussing identity attacks and user impersonation attacks. To address this security hole, we propose a new authentication scheme and a key with a smart card in this article. In addition, we show that the proposed authentication scheme is highly resistant to various attacks. Finally, we compare the performance and functionality of the proposed scheme with other related schemes.
