A Novel Authentication Scheme for Multi-Server Environment of Industrial Internet

Abstract

Aiming at the security problems of authentication in multi-server environments, a novel three-factor authentication scheme for multi-server environments of industrial Internet is proposed. After verifying password and face, a temporary session key is established for the user and server. Then the user obtains the permission of application services and accessing resources. In process of verifying password, hash function is used to hide password. The method of verifying face is the face recognition based on singular value decomposition. During the key agreement phase, only four dot multiplication operations based on elliptic curve cryptography is used to realize one-time key for cryptograph transmission and mutual authentication. Through security analysis and performance comparison, the proposed scheme has stronger robustness, higher security, better convenience and less computation cost than other similar schemes, and has high application value for multi-server environments of industrial Internet.
