Abstract :
This paper proposes a new efficient and secure multiserver authentication scheme based on one-way hash function without verification table to minimize the complexity of hash operation among all users and fit multi-server communication environments. Compare with related multi-serve authentication schemes, the proposed scheme has strong security and enhanced computational efficiency. Thus, the proposed scheme is extremely suitable for use in distributed network environments such as the Internet.
