The biometrics way of authentication came to exist, but it requires hardware and complex mechanisms. Each person has data needs to be fully secured. The password is vulnerable to hacking in the event that the hacker gets the data. This paper presents efficient user Authentication System based on Homomorphic Encryption (ASHE) because of Homomorphic Encryption (HE) performs operations upon encrypted data without decryption, therefore, proposed an algorithm based on HE to encrypt all users’ attributes. When the user logins into the system, the login password matches homomorphically with the database. If they are matched, the user is identified as a legitimate user else reject. This achieves better authentication and efficiency and preserves privacy of the user. If the user forgets their password, recovery phase is available. In this phase, the server sends a verification code to the user’s email. If it matches, then allows the user to reset the password and also implement Tow Factor Authentication (2FA).}, }
