Abstract
As mobile technologies evolve, mobile services tend to continuously expand and diversify. Therefore, developing security services appropriate for mobile environments is indispensable. This paper concentrates on how password-based user authentication protocols are applied to mobile environment, proposing the Password-based Authentication using Group Servers (PAGS) protocol. This protocol is able to provide authentication services relevant to mobile equipments to reduce complicated client processes in existing protocols. PAGS has the same security as protocols in [4,9], however this protocol is more appropriate for mobile equipments.
