Abstract
Recently, with the growth of the smartphone, wireless communi-cations using mobile device are growing rapidly around the world. The most advantage of the wireless communication is that a mobile user can communicate various data to anywhere at any time. However, to ensure the security of the communications, the authentication is being magnified as an important issue in wireless communication. After Zhu and Ma, various studies are announced, and in 2008, Wang et al. pointed out that Wu et al.’s scheme is failed to provide user anonymity and proposed an improved scheme. However, in this paper, we discuss that Wang et al.’s scheme is still vulnerable to a malicious adversary and does not provide user anonymity.
