Abstract
The identity authentication mechanism based on password protection is widely used in distributed environments.However,the traditional authentication scheme using passwords is vulnerable to attacks like dictionary attack,replay attack and denial of service attack.Based on the SAS protocol proposed by Sandirigara et al,this paper presents a simple and efficient password authentication scheme that can resist dictionary,replay,denial of service attacks,and minimize the computation and communication overheads.
