It has been noted with concern that the ability of a password to keep an information system
secure is diminishing. Increasingly sophisticated attack vectors and low memorability …

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is extensively used in various multifactor authentication
protocols. In this work, various recent ECC-based authentication and key exchange …

Although multi-factor authentication is gaining popularity, password-based authentication
remains the most commonly employed method for both online login and data encryption. To …

The goal of this study is to extend the guarantees provided by the secure transmission
protocols such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) and apply …

There is no doubt that, even after the development of many other authentication schemes,
passwords remain one of the most popular means of authentication. A review in the field of …

With the development of the Internet, information security has attracted more attention.
Identity authentication based on password authentication is the first line of defense; …

In this work we consider two elliptic curve cryptography based authentication protocols for
performing cryptanalysis and security enhancement. The first one by Moosavi et al., is a …

Authentication protocols with anonymity have gained much popularity recently which allows
users to access any public network without compromising their identity. Several key …

Nowadays, passwords play an important role in ensuring practical security. Password
