Recently Wang-Li proposed the remote user authentication scheme using smart cards. But the proposed scheme has not been satisfied security requirements considering in the user authentication scheme using the password based smart card. In this paper, we described the Wang-Li and Yoon et al.'s authentication scheme simply, and we prove that the Wang-Li's scheme is vulnerable to a password guessing attack and impersonation attack in case that the attacker steals the user's smart card and extracts the information in the smart card. Accordingly, we propose the improved user authentication scheme based on the hash function and generalized ElGamal signature scheme that can withstand many possible attacks including a password guessing attack, impersonation attack and replay attack, and that can offer the function of forward secrecy. The result of comparative analysis, the our proposed scheme is much more secure and efficient than the Wang-Li and Yoon et al.'s scheme.
