A secure user authentication protocol using elliptic curve cryptography

Abstract

Authentication is a significant security prerequisite for secure communications. However, most of identity assisted mutual authentication protocols are requiring of security verification, which is extremely impartment for cryptographic approach. The proposed protocol is a better identity based mutual authentication framework for two users over secure communication network. Further, paper shows the security analysis and compares with other related protocols in secure communication.
