Description
Summary:To address the issue that users frequently reuse their weak passwords in password-based authentication system,single password authentication based on secret sharing between server and mobile terminal (SPASS) was proposed,which allows a remote user to use a single password to authenticate to multiple services securely and has no need to store any secret of the user in the client PC.Even when the mobile device is lost or stolen,no damage to the user’s information will be induced.Security analysis and performance test show that SPASS greatly improves the security of the user’s secret information and resists dictionary attacks,honeypot attacks,cross-site scripting attacks etc.Furthermore,the proposed scheme can lighten burden of the user’s memory,reduce the storage pressure and easy to be deployed.
