An enhanced biometrics-based remote user authentication scheme using mobile devices

Remote user authentication is a mechanism, in which the remote server verifies the legitimacy of a user over an insecure communication channel. Recently, Wang and Li proposed a fingerprint-based remote user authentication scheme using mobile devices. We demonstrate that their scheme is vulnerable and susceptible to many attacks and has some practical pitfalls. To solve these problems, we propose an efficient fingerprint-based remote user authentication scheme using mobile devices. Proposed scheme not only overcomes all the drawbacks and problems of Wang and Li’s scheme, but also provides secure and user-friendly fingerprint-based remote user authentication over insecure network.
