Abstract;Authentication methods on the Internet have some problems. For example, data is not encrypted on the network or server, and private data must be kept in the client. We solved these problems by applying SAS (Simple And Secure), a kind of one time password technology, on the HTTP protocol. Our idea is to insert HTTP based SAS Proxy and authentication server between web client and web server. This idea makes authentication easy secure and low cost. We implemented this authentication system and appeared our system is more advantaged than SSL because of following result. 1) Total communication packets are 70% of SSL, 2) Load of server which has simultaneous access is 50% of SSL.
