摘要：With large scale proliferation of internet and network, more and more people tend to communicate through the insecure network channels. So, to avoid illegal access of confidential and private resources, user authentication is the primary requirement of this age. Nowadays, smart card based authentication schemes have been deployed widely to ensure the legitimacy of a user.s access request. Smart cards can be associated with the other traditional authentication schemes like password or PIN, to enhance the security level of the system. In recent years, numerous researchers have focused on the field of user authentication schemes and figured out a new advanced and secure mechanism by employing biometrics as an authentication tool in smart card systems. In this paper, the authors have made a detailed survey on some eminent existing biometric technique based smart card authentication schemes. Since the existing schemes have several security pitfalls and are susceptible to dangerous attacks, this study will pave a way towards the evolution of an ideal authentication scheme that can attain every possible goals
