Abstract: The security of authentication scheme, especially multi-factor biometric authentication scheme based on password, smart card, and biometric in wireless communication is an important and significant issue that researchers have been focusing on lately. Most recently, Liling Cao et al. improved a multi-factor biometric authentication scheme which demonstrated that their scheme can resist masquerading attack, user masquerading attack, replay attack, and provide mutual authentication, and so on. In this paper, it is indicated that their scheme is vulnerable to stolen smart card attack, user impersonation attack, server impersonation attack and man-in-the-middle-attack. Then, in order to avoid these attacks, a revised scheme with slight high computation costs but more security than other related schemes is presented.
