A New Remote User Authentication Scheme on Three Dimensions

Abstract:

The authors present a new remote user authentication scheme on three dimensions for multi-server environments. The merits include: the scheme can be used in multi-server environments; the system does not need to maintain any verification table; the users who have registered with various servers do not need to remember different login passwords for each; the ability to choose passwords freely and change them offline; mutual authentication is provided between the user and the remote system; a session key agreed by the user and the remote system is generated in every session. Furthermore, we propose a specific Access Right (AR). The AR means the legal users have different level of authorization based on which server in the multi-server environment in used.
