Abstract

With the integration of wireless communication and pay-TV, mobile broadcast TV technologies have advanced noticeably in recent years. In 2011, Chen et al. proposed an efficient anonymous authentication protocol for mobile pay-TV and claimed that their protocol is secure and efficient using in mobile pay-TV systems. This paper shows that Chen et al.’s protocol has weaknesses in password guessing attack and impersonation attack with the assumption that attacker could get user’s smart card.
