Abstract

In 2004, Hwang et al. proposed an efficient user identification scheme based on an ID-based cryptosystem that is suitable for the wireless/mobile environment. However, we find that their scheme is still vulnerable to impersonation attack. Accordingly, the current paper first shows the weakness of Hwang et al.’s scheme, and then presents an enhancement to resolve such problems.
