A Secure and Improved Multi Server Authentication Protocol Using Fuzzy Commitment
share
Very recently, Barman et al. proposed a multi-server authentication protocol using fuzzy commitment. The authors claimed that their protocol provides anonymity while resisting all known attacks. In this paper, we analyze that Barman et al.'s protocol is still vulnerable to anonymity violation attack and impersonation based on the stolen smart attack; moreover, it has scalability issues. We then propose an improved and enhanced protocol to overcome the security weaknesses of Barman et al.'s scheme. The security of the proposed protocol is verified using BAN logic and widely accepted automated AVISPA tool. The BAN logic and automated AVISPA along with the informal analysis ensures the robustness of the scheme against all known attacks
