A Remote Authentication Scheme with Elliptic Curve Cryptography on Smart Cards
Shyi-Tsong Wu, Bin‐Chang Chieu, Jung‐Hui Chiu · 2003
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) sustains equal security for a far small bit size and gains more and more attention. Based on ECC, we proposed a remote authentication scheme with smart cards. The scheme needs no password table to verify the legitimacy of the login user. It allows the users to choose and change their password freely rather than system computed un-human lengthy passwords. The scheme inherits the merits of ECC of small key size, fast computation and saving communication bandwidth.
