Abstract

This paper describes a mechanism for secure online user authentication and document signature with a cryptogram Java card in an insecure environment. The mechanism requires possession of both the card and some secrets, known as Concepts, to authenticate the user. The concepts are represented in image form. A method of secure document signing with the concept-based images is also outlined. Possible security weakness and attack methods are analysed in the paper. An implementation of the mechanism is also described in brief. It is anticipated that the mechanism would provide security and non-repudiation for e-Commerce customers in an insecure operating environment.
