Efficient Biometrics Remote User Authentication Scheme

Recently, bio-information has been playing an important role in modern user authentication schemes. In 2004, Lin and Lai proposed a flexible biometrics remote user authentication scheme. However, their scheme is vulnerable and cannot provide mutual authentication between user and remote system. Hence, Khan and Zhang improved the security of a flexible biometrics remote user authentication scheme in 2007. This paper shows that Khan et al.'s scheme is still vulnerable to both the impersonation attack and the man-in-the-middle attack. Moreover, an efficient and flexible biometrics user authentication scheme is proposed to enhance the performance and correct the security problems.
