An Improved Low Computation Cost User Authentication Scheme for Mobile Communication

Most of existing user authentication schemes require high computation cost of exponentiation operations for the purpose of security. However, it is not suitable for mobile devices. In this article, we propose a low computation cost user authentication scheme for mobile communication. Our scheme uses only one-way hash functions and smart cards and can be implemented efficiently. The proposed scheme not only resolves the weakness appeared in existing methods but also suits for mobile communication.
