Abstract

In this paper we use the Diffie–Hellman key exchange protocol to introduce a decentralized key agreement protocol based on elliptic curves. We do not use any public key infrastructure, which makes it suitable for light devices with low computational and storage capabilities. Thus mobile devices can directly authorize other mobile devices to exchange keys in order to get access to a service or system, in a secure and efficient manner.
