Abstract
The mobile device market has grown rapidly, and as the internet becomes available wireless, it offers a variety of services to people such as browsing, file sharing, shopping anytime and anywhere. Contemporary, a smartcard comes to one of beneficial thing because of its convenience and lightweight. As smartcards become commercially available, on one side, smartcard based authentication scheme also actively researched. In 2016, Ahmed et al. proposed lightweight communication overhead authentication scheme with smartcard. Ahmed et al. argued that scheme they proposed was lightweight compared to the previously well-known other schemes, safe from multiple attacks, and satisfied multiple security features. However, we found that Ahmed et al.’s scheme also showed weaknesses and scheme’s progress was incomplete. In this paper, we briefly introduce Ahmed et al.’s scheme and demonstrate that their scheme is still unstable to apply to user authentication environment using smartcard.
