Abstract	Recently, Chuang et al. proposed a multi-server authenticated key agreement scheme based on trust computing using smart cards and biometrics. They claimed that their scheme can resist replay attacks, modification attack, off-line password guessing attack and insider attack. However, we demonstrated that their scheme is vulnerable to servers spoofing attack and cannot protect the user’s anonymity and the session key, even if the adversary only knows the information transmitting in the public channel. Furthermore, their scheme cannot resist user impersonation attack if the smart cards is stolen. To overcome these problems, we proposed a robust anonymous multi-server authenticated key agreement scheme. We show that our proposed scheme can provide stronger security than previous protocols and protect the user anonymity.
