Toshi Jain · IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering · 2014
Various kinds of authentication schemes have been deployed to secure the information or resources from unauthorized access.In these schemes, server maintains a verification table which is vulnerable to a variety of attacks.To withstand the possible attacks for verification table, smart card based authentication scheme has been proposed as an alternative solution.Smart card is a small, tamper-resistant device providing users with a convenient storage and processing capability, it is widely used for a range of applications such as remote user login, online banking, ID verification, access control and e-commerce etc.This article gives comparative analysis of major smart card authentication schemes for single server as well as multi-server environment.
