Abstract

User authentication and access control are two important components in high security applications. Recently, Chen and Yeh proposed a method to integrate both of them seamlessly. However, Chen-Yeh's scheme is vulnerable to a stolen verifier attack, since it maintains a smart card identifier table in a remote server. Therefore, this paper modifies Chen-Yeh's scheme and propose a new integrated authentication and access control scheme that is resilient to the stolen verifier attack while inheriting all the merits of Chen-Yeh's scheme. Security analysis shows that the proposed scheme withstands well-known security attacks and exhibits many good features.

고도의 보안 시스템에서 사용자 인증과 접근제어는 두 가지 중요한 요소이다. 최근 Chen & Yeh는 이 두 가지 보안 요소를 원활하게 잘 통합한 방법을 제안하였다. 그러나 Chen-Yeh 방법은 원격 서버에 스마트 카드 ID 자료를 유지하기 때문에 SVA(stolen verifier attack: 도난 검증자 공격)에 취약하다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Chen & Yeh 방법의 이런 단점을 개선하고, 장점은 그대로 유지하는 새로운 사용자 인증 및 접근제어 방법을 제안한다. 보안 분석 결과에 의하면, 기존 방법들에 비하여 제안 방법은 여러 가지 다양한 보안 침해 공격에 강인하면서, 사용자 인증 및 접근제어에 도움이 되는 많은 좋은 특징을 보유하고 있는 것으로 입증되었다.
