User Authentication Scheme based on Security-enhanced Biometric Information for C/S System

Password-based authentication schemes for server-client system are convenient to use, but vulnerable to dictionary attack or brute-force attack. To solve this vulnerability, Cryptographic secret key is used for security, but difficult to memorize. So, for the first time, Das proposed a biometric-based authentication scheme to solve various problems but it has various vulnerabilities. Afterwards, Jiping et al. improved Das’s scheme, but some vulnerabilities remain. In this paper, we analyze the cryptanalysis of Jiping et al.’s authentication scheme and then propose improved biometric based user authentication scheme to resolve the analyzed problem. Moreover, we conduct a security analysis for the proposed scheme and make a comparison between the proposed scheme and other biometric based user authentications.
