| Summary: | Smart cities and E-governance in smart cities has been the emerging topic in this twenty-first century. The rapid developments and experiences in advancing and utilizing the applications of smart city for the continuous smart E-governance have evolved as an interesting topic to concentrate. According to Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the aims and paradigm of the smart city are to provide an integrated infrastructure and manage proper E-governance with a mission of next-generation cities. The smart delivery services which are opting the ICT-based E-governance are facilitated with an interactivity, say Internet through which the citizens can enjoy the best facilities of smart city. As the growing popularity of smart city and its applications, the communication between the government and the citizens is also raising the possibility of infringement attempts. To address this issue, we come up with an advanced multi-factor user authentication scheme which can be utilized for the smart E-governance applications in smart cities. The lightweight nature of our scheme and resistance to many network attacks, including low computational overhead show beyond doubt that our scheme is efficient and applicable to E-governance applications in smart city. A formal verification performed using AVISPA tool confirms the security of the proposed scheme.
