Secure Mutual Authentication Protocol

Abstract

In this paper, we have proposed a Secured password based mutual authentication protocol for client-sever computing using elliptic curve cryptography.The proposed framework provides mutual authentication and session key agreement in client-sever environment.It provides secure communication between client and server with help of user email-id and mobile phone as authentication device for mobile hand held device.ECC based mutual authentication protocol is best suited for constrained environments where the resources such as computational power, storage capacity are extremely limited.Devices are such as Mobile phones, PDA's, palmtops, smart cards.
