Cryptanalysis of recently proposed Remote User Authentication Schemes
Recently Manik et al. [13] proposed a novel remote user authentication scheme using bilinear pairings. Chou et al. [14] identified a weakness in Manik et al.’s scheme and made an improvement. In this paper, we show that both Manik et al.’s and Chou et al.’s schemes are insecure against forgery attack and replay attack
Cryptanalysis of Sun and Cao's Remote Authentication Scheme with User Anonymity
Dynamic ID-based remote user authentication schemes ensure efficient and
anonymous mutual authentication between entities. In 2013, Khan et al. proposed
an improved dynamic ID-based authentication scheme to overcome the security
flaws of Wang et al.'s authentication scheme. Recently, Sun and Cao showed that
Khan et al. does not satisfies the claim of the user's privacy and proposed an
efficient authentication scheme with user anonymity. The Sun and Cao's scheme
achieve improvement over Khan et al.'s scheme in both privacy and performance
point of view. Unfortunately, we identify that Sun and Cao's scheme does not
resist password guessing attack. Additionally, Sun and Cao's scheme does not
achieve forward secrecy
