Abstract :
User authentication is an important technology to guarantee that only the legal users can access resources from the remote server. for user authentication, in 2011, Lee et al. proposed a dynamic user authentication scheme for multi-server environments. They claimed that this scheme provided efficiency, strong security, and user anonymity property. However, we find that Lee et al.´s scheme is still vulnerable to masquerade attack and cannot provide user anonymity. This paper will propose an improvement to remedy the weakness of Lee et al.´s scheme.
