Abstract
In 2010, Sood et al [16] proposed a secure dynamic identity based authentication scheme using smart cards. They claimed that their scheme is secure against various attacks. In this paper, we demonstrate that their scheme is completely insecure and vulnerable to outsider attack as well as insider attack. An outsider attacker can obtain the common session key between the user and the server, while an insider attacker can get not only the session key but also the secret key of the server. Therefore, the entire system collapses. To remedy these security flaws, an improved scheme is proposed to withstand these attacks.
