A Two-Factor Mutual Authentication Scheme Using Biometrics and Smart Card

We present a remote authentication scheme that uses biometrics and smart card for its working. The security of our scheme relies on onewayness and collision-resistance of hash functions. We use error control codes to remove noise from biometric readings taken at; different times. We provide a detailed security analysis and show that the proposed scheme is able to withstand many commonly known attacks against remote authentication schemes. In addition, the scheme does not store biometric templates on the server and provides mutual authentication between the user and the server.
