Authentication using smartcards

[mdmisbahuddin () yahoo com]

Hi,
 Presently i am working on authentication schemes using smartcard without verification table, i have a doubt regarding 
Verification table. Could anyone please explain me the difference between Password table and Verification table. Are 
they both same ? or Different ? I am asking this question because i have seen some IEEE research papers wherein the 
authors have used ID for verification at the server still they say that their scheme does not use verification table. 
Plz help me out in this
