| Summary: | Authentication is the process of confirming an identity. In the context of
network interactions, authentication involves the confident identification of one
party by another party. Authentication of users in distributed systems poses
special problems because, users lack the ability to encrypt and , decrypt. In
most systems today, the user is forced to trust the node he wants to use. In a
more satisfactory design, the user carries a smart card with sufficient
computing power to assist him. This thesis deals with relatively new methods
of authentication using a smart card and secure coprocessor. We analyze two
cases to authenticate a client, depending on the smart card usage. The major
attacks that affect the smart card and the server are applied to our proposed
methods of authentication. The result shows that using the proper system
preparation and proper authentication sequence for our methods the effects
could be minimized. |
