Abstract

We study user authentication protocols that allow user to remotely access and control home appliances through home gateway. In particular, we explore the S/Key user authentication scheme, a widely known one-time password system. Earlier studies show that S/Key is vulnerable to server spoofing, replay, and off-line dictionary attacks. Several researchers have proposed various solutions to prevent such attacks. However, we show that these enhancements are still vulnerable to another security attacks and propose a scheme that defends such attacks.
