  Abstract

In a network environment, when a user requests a server's service, a remote user authentication system using smart cards is a very practical solution to validate the eligibility of a user and provide secure communication. In these authentication schemes, due to fast progress of networks and information technology, most of provided services are in multi-server environments. However, there are no studies in multi-server authentication schemes using smart cards providing mutual anonymity so far. In this paper, we propose a novel user authentication scheme using smart cards providing mutual authentication and mutual anonymity for multi-server environments. Our proposed scheme achieves the low-computation requirement for smart cards and a user can use permitted various services in eligible servers by only one registration. Also, this scheme guarantees perfect mutual anonymity of participants.
