Abstract
In 2005, Lu-Cao proposed an improvement on Hwang-Li’s remote user authentication scheme using a smart card that could withstand an impersonation attack, but also it required fewer computational costs. However, the current paper demonstrates that Lu-Cao’s scheme has some drawbacks. We present an improved authentication scheme in order to isolate such problems.
