Abstract

In day to day life, Smart card plays an important role. Open your wallet! See at least 20 to 25 cards in it. Wondering?? Today, the world is fully in the hands of smart cards since it is easy to carry and even if it is stolen, it is secure. But due to the increase in hackers today, Smart cards are becoming insecure now. Even the Encrypted PIN can be easily stolen by the cryptanalysts. So it is time now to secure the Smart card. In our previous paper [1], we have considered all the vulnerabilities of the Smart card and have provided various ways to overcome it. Still we feel that my algorithm is suffering from forgery attack. In this paper, we have applied a new encryption and a new hash algorithm to keep the information secure in Smart cards and to overcome forgery attack. The main advantage of this paper is, on an average, even the supercomputer will take 101084 years to decrypt, which is 42.2% higher than the previous proposals.

Abstract

The advancement in automation in business has given us the credit card, debit card, health care card, license ID card, etc. It is not viable for an individual to carry multiple cards in her wallet. So, multi-application smart cards sound promising for future technological world to ease the life of an individual. Innovations in technologies bestow us a lot of technical and financial benefits and a supplementary risk in security. To avoid these risks, a secure two-way authentication is required between the card reader and the service provider. The Information which is transferred between the smart card reader and service provider must be in an encrypted form. This achieves both confidentiality and integrity with authentication. Furthermore, an individual's unique identification is provided by means of biometrics (fingerprint). This paper introduces a public key cryptographic based security for remote user authentication and one-time transformation for biometric identification.

Keywords
