Abstract :
In 2010, H?lbl et al. showed that Shieh et al.ʹs mutual authentication and key agreement
scheme is vulnerable to the smart card lost attack, not achieving perfect forward secrecy, and proposed
a security enhanced scheme to eliminate these weaknesses. In this paper, we show that H?lbl et al.ʹs
security enhancement is still vulnerable to the smart card lost attacks. In addition, their scheme cannot
resist impersonation attacks and parallel session attacks. Seeing that the existing mutual authentication
schemes using smart cards are almost vulnerable to the smart card lost attacks, we further propose a new
one-time two-factor mutual authentication and key agreement scheme to eliminate these weaknesses.
