چکیده
As of today, numerous researchers have explored the issue of secure and efficient smart card based authentication scheme for these variety of application areas. This article explores the background research on the single server smart card authentication schemes as well as multi-server smart card authentication schemes and its associated research gaps. This article gives comparative analysis of major smart card authentication schemes for single server as well as multi-server environment in terms of security features provided and the computational complexity. This effort assists the researchers to work in different directions towards design and development of secure and efficient smart card authentication scheme.

Security weaknesses in two multi-server password based authentication protocols
In 2004 and 2005, Tsaur et al. proposed a smart card based password authentication schemes for multi-server environments, respectively. They claimed that their protocols are safe and can withstand various kinds of attacks. However, after analysis, we found their schemes each have some secure loopholes. In this article, we will show the security flaws in these two protocols.
متن کاملAn Enhanced Biometric-Based Three Factors User Authentication Scheme for Multi-server Environments
Authentication is an important and basic security service for many network based applications, which allows the registered user access remote services after the validity of his/her identity is verified by the remote server. Password, smart card and biometric are three frequently used factors in authentication, and some remote user authentication schemes for different environments had been prese...
متن کاملA Biometrics-based Multi-server Key Agreement Scheme on Chaotic Maps Cryptosystem
Nowadays chaos theory is widely used in cryptography. In the real world, in order to ensure secure communication, many chaotic maps-based key agreement protocols have been proposed. Most of them used a smart card on account of the inherent ability of anti-interference. Popularly, many related protocols using smart card are used for a single server environment. However, existing single server au...
متن کاملEnhanced Smartcard based Multi-Server Authentication Scheme
Generally, if a user wants to use numerous different network services, he/she must register himself/herself to every service providing server. It is not easy task for users to remember these different identities and passwords for each server. To solve the problem, various multiserver authentication schemes have been proposed. Recently, Wang et al. proposed a smartcard based multi-server authent...
متن کاملComments on Three Multi-Server Authentication Protocols
Recently, Tsai et al., Liao et al. and Li et al. each proposed a multi-server authentication protocol. They claimed their protocols are secure and can withstand various attacks. However, we found some security loopholes in each of their schemes, for example, both Tsai et al.’s and Liao et al.‘s schemes suffers from server spoofing attack by an insider server. Li et al.s’ suffers from the lost s...
