Abstract

An improved server validation scheme for a multi-server infrastructure has been introduced. In this scheme, each member involved in communication has to prove its validation before any exchange of information bits. This introduced scheme also secures the server against phishing and other similar attacks. Dynamic properties of the group are handled with ease, making the scheme suitable for real-life applications. Major achieved highlights of the method are that user privacy is respected without requiring any serious time synchronization.
