Abstract
Most of password authenticated key agreement protocols have focused on the two-party setting where two communicating parties share a human-memorable password. In this paper, we study password authenticated key agreement in the three-party setting where both communicating parties share respective passwords with a trusted third party rather than themselves. Previous results in this area have lack of security concerns and are never considered in the augmented model which was contrived to resist server compromise. Our contribution is, from the practical perspective, a new three-party password authenticated key agreement protocol that is first designed in the augmented model and very flexible in its message flows.
This study was supported by the grant of the Seoul R&BD Program.
