Abstract

Password-based authenticated key agreement enables several parties to establish a shared cryptographically strong key over an insecure network using short low entropy passwords. This authenticated key agreement is definitely the most interesting in practice, since no additional device is required, but just a human-memorable password, for authenticating the players. Recently, Zhou et al. showed an efficient provably secure two-party pass-word-based authenticated key agreement (PAKA) protocol. In this paper, we propose an efficient two-party PAKA protocol and show a formal security proof. Our construction is more efficient than Zhou et al.’s.
