Server Architecture

In a typical single-server architecture, when a user wishes to access multiple servers to obtain different services, the user needs to register with every single server. This results in multiple identities and password pairs. To eliminate the limitation of the user having to possess and remember multiple identities and password pairs, a number of multiserver authentication protocols have been proposed where a user only needs to register once. However, most existing protocols are subsequently found to be insecure and this topic remains one of the ongoing research interests. Thus, in this paper, we present a multiserver authentication key agreement protocol. We then demonstrate the security of the protocol under the random oracle model, as well as the practicality of the protocol in terms of low computation and communication costs, minimal storage requirements, and operation costs.

Server Architecture

With advancement of computer community and widespread dissemination of network applications, users generally need multiple servers to provide different services. Accordingly, the multiserver architecture has been prevalent, and designing a secure and efficient remote user authentication under multiserver architecture becomes a nontrivial challenge. In last decade, various remote user authentication protocols have been put forward to correspond to the multi-server scenario requirements. However, these schemes suffered from certain security problems or their cost consumption exceeded users’ own constrained ability. In this paper, we present an anonymous remote user authentication with key agreement scheme for multi-server architecture employing self-certified public keys without pairings. The proposed scheme can not only retain previous schemes’ advantages but also achieve user privacy concern. Moreover, our proposal can gain higher efficiency by removing the pairings operation compared with the related schemes. Through analysis and comparison with the related schemes, we can say that our proposal is in accordance with the scenario requirements and feasible to the multi-server architecture.

With the rapid development of quantum computing and quantum information technology, the universal quantum computer will emerge in the near decades with a very high probability and it could break most of the current public key cryptosystems totally. Due to the ability of withstanding the universal quantum computer’s attack, the lattice-based cryptosystems have received lots of attention from both industry and academia. In this paper, we propose an identity-based blind signature scheme using lattice. We also prove that the proposed scheme is provably secure in the random oracle model. The performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme has less mean value of sampling times and smaller signature size than previous schemes. Thus, the proposed scheme is more suitable for practical applications.

AbstractKey-insulated encryption reduces the problem of secret key exposure in hostile setting while signcryption cryptosystem attains the benefits of digitally signing a ciphertext and public key cryptosystem. In this study, we merge the primitives of parallel key-insulation cryptosystem and signcryption with equality test to construct ID-based parallel key-insulated signcryption with a test for equality (ID-PKSET) in cloud computing. The construction prevent data forgery, data re-play attacks and reduces the leakage of secret keys in harsh environments. Our scheme attains the security property of existential unforgeable chosen message attack (EUF-CMA) and indistinquishable identity chosen ciphertext attack (IND-ID-CCA2) using random oracle model.

Authentication Schemes

An anonymous user authentication scheme allows a user, who wants to access a remote application server, to achieve mutual authentication and session key establishment with the server in an anonymous manner. To enhance the security of such authentication schemes, recent researches combined user’s biometrics with a password. However, these authentication schemes are designed for single server environment. So when a user wants to access different application servers, the user has to register many times. To solve this problem, Chuang and Chen proposed an anonymous multiserver authenticated key agreement scheme using smart cards together with passwords and biometrics. Chuang and Chen claimed that their scheme not only supports multiple servers but also achieves various security requirements. However, we show that this scheme is vulnerable to a masquerade attack, a smart card attack, a user impersonation attack, and a DoS attack and does not achieve perfect forward secrecy. We also propose a security enhanced anonymous multiserver authenticated key agreement scheme which addresses all the weaknesses identified in Chuang and Chen’s scheme.
