✦ Synopsis

Recently, Fan proposed an enhanced scheme to improve the security of Yang-Shieh's timestamp-based password authentication scheme. The enhanced scheme can withstand the attacks presented by Chan, Cheng and Fan. In this paper, we show that the enhanced scheme is still insecure. An intruder is able to construct a forged login request by intercepting the legitimate login requests and pass the system authentication with a nonnegligible probability.

Yang and Shieh proposed a timestamp-based password authentication scheme. Chan and Cheng proved that it is insecure. In this paper, we will give a further cryptanalysis of the scheme, and give an easier attack on it. Finally, we will propose an improved scheme that can withstand both of the attacks.

In 1999, Yang and Shieh proposed a timestamp-based password authentication scheme with smart cards. However, Chan and Cheng showed that it was insecure because the scheme was vulnerable to the forged login attack. In this paper, we propose a modified Yang-Shieh scheme to enhance security.

In this paper, we show that the identity-based society oriented signature scheme with anonymous signers proposed by Saeednia is insecure. If some members of a given group leave that group or if some new members join the group, their secret keys would be revealed. We also propose a simple way to fulf
