Abstract
We show that the authentication protocol (Ma and Cheng [10]) fails to keep user anonymity, not as claimed. We suggest a method to fix it. Besides, we find there is a flawed equality, in which some terms are inaccessible to the user. This flaw results in the failure for the user to finish his computations. We also suggest a method to fix this mistake.
期刊介绍:
This publication provides a systems-level, focused forum for application-oriented manuscripts that address complex systems and system-of-systems of national and global significance. It intends to encourage and facilitate cooperation and interaction among IEEE Societies with systems-level and systems engineering interest, and to attract non-IEEE contributors and readers from around the globe. Our IEEE Systems Council job is to address issues in new ways that are not solvable in the domains of the existing IEEE or other societies or global organizations. These problems do not fit within traditional hierarchical boundaries. For example, disaster response such as that triggered by Hurricane Katrina, tsunamis, or current volcanic eruptions is not solvable by pure engineering solutions. We need to think about changing and enlarging the paradigm to include systems issues.
