Abstract

Recently, Liu et al. proposed a mutual authentication protocol with user anonymity for wireless communication. In their paper, the authors claimed that the protocol can resist several kinds of attacks even the secret information stored in the smart card is disclosed. However, we still find two vulnerabilities in this paper. First, this protocol still fails to protect user anonymity. Second, this protocol is vulnerable to an off-line password guessing attack if an adversary can derive the secret information stored in a smart card. To solve the problems, we propose a simple but effective patch to their protocol.
