Zero Footprint Secure Internet Authentication Using Network Smart Card

چکیده
This paper describes the motivation and technological innovation of Network Smart Card, a next generation smart card architecture that supports standard Internet communication and security protocols. It outlines the role of these next generation smart cards in addressing some of the weaknesses inherent in current Internet authentication frameworks. The paper evaluates several common methods of authenticating users as well as servers during online transactions and shows how they can be improved by the use of Network Smart Card. Traditional two-factor authentication techniques require modifications to client machine, remote server, or both. This paper describes a method of achieving the same two-factor authentication for secure Internet access without requiring any modification to host device or remote servers. Finally, the advantages of Network Smart Card are evaluated against other forms of authentication, such as conventional smart cards and OTP tokens.

Improved on an efficient user authentication scheme for heterogeneous wireless sensor network tailored for the Internet of Things environment
Recently, Farasha et al. proposed an efficient user authentication and key agreement scheme for heterogeneous wireless sensor network tailored for the Internet of Things environment. By using BAN-logic and AVISPA tools, they confirm the security properties of the proposed scheme. However, after analyzing, we determine that the scheme could not resist the smart card loss password guessing attack...

متن کاملEfficient Statistical Zero-Knowledge Authentication Protocols for Smart Cards Secure Against Active & Concurrent Attacks
We construct statistical zero-knowledge authentication protocols for smart cards based on general assumptions. The main protocol is only secure against active attacks, but we present a modification based on trapdoor commitments that can resist concurrent attacks as well. Both protocols are instantiated using lattice-based primitives, which are conjectured to be secure against quantum attacks. W...
