Strong Zero-knowledge Authentication Based on Virtual Passwords

Abstract

Currently, the security of the users' privacy in public spaces has more concerns especially in web applications. Also, the unconsciousness of users by the importance of the quality cryptographic of these authentication parameters makes their commoditized accounts. Hence, investment in the computer discipline becomes more demanding to prevent potential attacks. In this paper, we intro-duce a new strong zero knowledge authentication system based on virtual passwords (SAVP). Its objective of this paper is to ensure the identification of users on the net-work by ensuring intractability, portability, unpredictability, integrity and reusability of their authentication set- tings. In the second section, we study the difficulties and users habits followed in the selection, storage or memorizing passwords, as well, the evolution and the limits of all categories of texture password authentication. Also, we locate the importance of integration of salts in authentication mechanisms and their impacts on the robustness of passwords regenerated. As for the third section, we start with a detail description of all mechanisms and component contributing to the robustness of our mutual authentication system. Our goal is to provide a strong zero knowledge authentication system based on salts generated by a cryptographically secure random regenerator, algorithm for dynamic rotation of binary strings, symmetric cryptography primitive, one-way hash function and random nonce to provide mutual authentication. The security analysis of our proposal, which is the goal of the fourth section, shows their ability to resist against multiple types of attacks.
