A Cryptographic Mutual Authentication Scheme for Web ApplicationsYassine Sadqi, Ahmed Asimi, Younes Asimi
The majority of current web authentication is built on username/password. Unfortunately, password replacement offers more security, but it is difficult to use and expensive to deploy. In this paper, we propose a new mutual authentication scheme called StrongAuth which preserves most password authentication advantages and simultaneously improves security using cryptographic primitives. Our scheme not only offers webmasters a clear framework which to build secure user authentication, but it also provides almost the same conventional user experience. Security analysis shows that the proposed scheme fulfills the required user authentication security benefits, and can resist various possible attacks.

A New Approach to Decoding of Rational Irreducible Goppa codeAhmed Drissi, Ahmed Asimi
The interesting properties of classical Goppa code and its effective decoding algorithm (algorithm of patterson) make the most appropriate candidate for use in the MC Eliece cryptosystem. Information leakage which results from the relationship between the error vector weight and the number of iterations in the decoding algorithm, presented a weakness of the cryptosystem. In this paper, we introduce a new approach to decoding, the use of binary Goppa code in system design MC Eliece which solve the problem of the leak of information, on the contrary in case of patterson algorithm. We treat this decoding method using the Newton identities and results of linear algebra.
