A Note on “An Anonymous and Certificateless Identity Authentication Protocol for Mobile Edge Computing”
Lihua Liu · IEEE Systems Journal · 2024
We show that the authentication protocol (Ma and Cheng [10]) fails to keep user anonymity, not as claimed. We suggest a method to fix it. Besides, we find there is a flawed equality, in which some terms are inaccessible to the user. This flaw results in the failure for the user to finish his computations. We also suggest a method to fix this mistake.
