Recently Wang-Li proposed the remote user authentication scheme using smart cards. But the proposed scheme has not been satisfied security requirements considering in the user authentication scheme using the password based smart card. In this paper, we described the Wang-Li and Yoon et al.'s authentication scheme simply, and we prove that the Wang-Li's scheme is vulnerable to a password guessing attack and impersonation attack in case that the attacker steals the user's smart card and extracts the information in the smart card. Accordingly, we propose the improved user authentication scheme based on the hash function and generalized ElGamal signature scheme that can withstand many possible attacks including a password guessing attack, impersonation attack and replay attack, and that can offer the function of forward secrecy. The result of comparative analysis, the our proposed scheme is much more secure and efficient than the Wang-Li and Yoon et al.'s scheme.

This paper proposes protocol design that can do user authentication efficiently in current systems that client-server environment is developed. And proposes a password-based authentication protocol suitable to certification through trustless network or key exchange. While the existing password-base protocols certify users through certification authority (CA) between client and server, the proposed protocol in this paper, users and server exchange keys and perform authentication without help of CA. To ameliorate the drawback of password-based protocols causing by the short length and randomness of password, the proposed protocol uses the signature techniques of ECDSA and the SRP protocol based on Diffie-Hellman key exchange method. Also, by with compare to round number and Hash function number and exponential operation of existing protocols, we explained efficiency of proposed protocol.

A new password authentication method Is proposed in this paper for the purpose of providing web page authors the convenience in deploying password-protected Web realms at a web server. According to this method. a web realm is mapped to a secret directory at the web server. in which access-controlled web pages are stored. A password is used to construct the name of the secret directory. A javaScript code is embedded in a sign-in web pageoutside the secret directory, which converts the user-entered password into the directory name and forms a complete URL pointing to an access-controlled web page inside the secret directory. Thus, only users knowing the password can compose a valid URL and retrieve the access-controlled web page. Using this method, web page authors can deploy password-protected web realms in a server-independent manner.

로그인 과정은 사용자의 ID와 Password를 기반으로 시스템에 대한 사용권한을 부여한다. 로그인 과정에서 입력된 ID와 Password 정보는 패킷 스니핑 또는 Keylogger 프로그램 등을 이용하여 악의적인 공격자에 의해 노출될 수 있다는 취약점이 있다. 웹서버 또는 웹메일 시스템 등에 등록된 ID와 Password가 노출된다면 이는 개인 프라이버시 문제와도 연결되어 매우 심각한 문제이기도 하다. 현재 대부분의 시스템에서는 ID와 Password 만을 가지고 사용자에 대한 인증 및 로그인 과정을 수행하기 때문에 더욱더 강력한 복합 로그인 메카니즘이 제시되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 ID/Password 기반 로그인 기법과 더불어 소프트웨어 형태의 보안카드를 핸드폰에 설치하여 유무선망을 통한 이중 인증(Two factor authentication) 기법을 제시한다. 제안한 소프트웨어 형태의 보안카드 기반 로그인 기법은 ID/Password와 함께 부가적 정보로써 사용자의 핸드폰에 발급받은 보안카드내 난수 형태로 생성된 번호를 사용한다. 따라서 제안한 시스템을 사용할 경우 기존의 ID와 Password와 연계되어 일회용 패스워드 형태로 제공되는 보안카드 정보를 사용하여 로그인 과정을 수행하기 때문에 보다 안전한 인증 시스템을 구축할 수 있다.

In this paper, we address vulnerabilities of legacy VOD system and implement secure-VOD system to protect security holes of it. Our secure-VOD system provide user authentication using one-time password, message authentication and encryption/decryption for video server information. To improve security of existing fixed password system, our secure-VOD system use one-time password. Also, our secure-VOD system provides integrity for video server information by generating and verifying message authentication code using HMAC-HAS 160 algorithm. Finally, our secure-VOD system uses RC5 encryption algorithm to guarantee confidentiality for video server information.

In today's world, communication, the sharing of information, and money transactions are all possible to conduct via the Internet, but it is important that it these things are done by the actual person. It is possible via several means that an intruder can access user information. As such, several precautionary measures have to be taken to avoid such instances. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the idea of a one-time password (OTP), which makes unauthorized access difficult for unauthorized users. A OTP can be implemented using smart cards, time-based tokens, and short message service, but hardware based methodologies require maintenance costs and can be misplaced Therefore, the quick response code technique and personal assurance message has been added along with the OTP authentication.

In 2012, Sonwanshi et al. suggested an efficient smar card based remote user authentication scheme using hash function. In this paper, we point out that their scheme is vulnerable to offline password guessing attack, sever impersonation attack, insider attack, and replay attack and it has weakness for session key vulnerability and privacy problem. Furthermore, we propose an improved scheme which resolves security flaws and show that the scheme is more secure and efficient than others.

Recently, many user authentication schemes using smart cards have been proposed to improve the security weaknesses in user authentication process. In 2009, Wang et al. proposed a more effective and secure dynamic ID-based remote user authentication scheme to improve the security weakness of Das et al.'s scheme, and asserted that the improved scheme is secure against independent of password in authentication phase and provides mutual authentication between the user and the remote server. However, in this paper, we analyze the security of Wang et al. scheme and demonstrate that Wang et al.'s scheme is vulnerable to the man-in-the-middle attack and the off-line password guessing attack. In addition, we show that Wang et al. scheme also fails to provide mutual authentication. Accordingly, we propose an improved scheme to overcome these security weakness even if the secrete information stored in the smart card is revealed. Our proposed scheme can withstand the user impersonation attack, the server masquerading attack and off-line password guessing attack. Furthermore, this improved scheme provides the mutual authentication and is more effective than Wang et al.'s scheme in term of the computational complexities.

Ajax interaction model changes the posture of web application to become a stateful over HTTP. Ajax applications are long-lived inthe browser. XMLHTTPRequest (XHR) is used to facilitate the data exchange. Using HTTPS over this interaction is not viable because of the frequency of data exchange. Moreover, switching of protocols form HTTP to HTTPS for sensitive information is prohibited because of server-of-origin policy. The longevity, constraint, and asynchronous features of Ajax application need to hove a different authentication and session fondling mechanism that invoke re-authentication. This paper presents an authentication and session management scheme using Ajax. The scheme is design lo invoke periodic and event based re-authentication in the background using digest authentication with auto-generated password similar to OTP (One Time Password). The authentication and session management are wrapped into a framework called AWASec (Ajax Web Application Security) for coupling to avoid broken authentication and session management.

Almost all network systems provide an authentication mechanism based on user ID and password. In such system, it is easy to obtain the user password using a sniffer program with illegal eavesdropping. The one-time password and challenge-response method are useful authentication schemes that protect the user passwords against eavesdropping. In client/server environments, the one-time password scheme using time is especially useful because it solves the synchronization problem. In this paper, we propose a new identification scheme One Pass Identification. The security of Password base System is based on the square root problem, and Password base System is secure against the well known attacks including pre-play attack, off-line dictionary attack and server comprise. A number of pass of Password base System is one, and Password base System processes the password and does not need the key. We think that Password base System is excellent for the consuming time to verify the prover.
