An Improved Fingerprint-Based Remote User Authentication Scheme Using Smart Cards

Abstract

In the computing environments, remote user authentication is an important part of security. Combining fingerprint verification and smart cards is one of a potential solution for strong remote user authentication. In this paper, we cryptanalyze an efficient fingerprint-based remote user authentication scheme introduced by Yoon and Yoo in 2005, and propose a new scheme improved with regard to security and efficiency. Actually, the Yoon-Yoo scheme is a security improvement on the previous Lin-Lai fingerprint-based verification scheme, while the Lin-Lai scheme is a precedent improvement on the Lee-Ryu-Yoo scheme. However, we have found that the most recent Yoon-Yoo scheme is still vulnerable to various types of impersonation attacks. Our new protocol is resistant to those attacks and more efficient than the previous schemes.
