Robust Biometrics-Based Authentication Scheme for Multiserver Environment

TLDR: This paper proposes a biometrics-based authentication scheme for multiserver environment using elliptic curve cryptography and demonstrates the completeness of the proposed scheme using the Burrows-Abadi-Needham logic.

Abstract: The authentication scheme is an important cryptographic mechanism, through which two communication parties could authenticate each other in the open network environment To satisfy the requirement of practical applications, many authentication schemes using passwords and smart cards have been proposed However, passwords might be divulged or forgotten, and smart cards might be shared, lost, or stolen In contrast, biometric methods, such as fingerprints or iris scans, have no such drawbacks Therefore, biometrics-based authentication schemes gain wide attention In this paper, we propose a biometrics-based authentication scheme for multiserver environment using elliptic curve cryptography To the best of our knowledge, the proposed scheme is the first truly three-factor authenticated scheme for multiserver environment We also demonstrate the completeness of the proposed scheme using the Burrows–Abadi–Needham logic
