A PAK(Password-Authenticated Key Exchange) protocol is used as a protocol to provide both the mutual authentication and allow the communication entities to share the session key for the subsequent secure communication, using the human-memorable portable short-length password, In this paper, we propose distributed key exchange protocols applicable to a smartcard using the MTI(Matsumoto, Takashima, Imai) key distribution protocol and PAK protocol. If only one server keeps the password verification data which is used for password authentication protocol. then It could easily be compromised by an attacker, called the server-compromised attack, which results in impersonating either a user or a server, Therefore, these password verification data should be distributed among the many server using the secret sharing scheme, The Object of this paper Is to present a password-based key exchange protocol which is to allow user authentication and session key distribution, using the private key in a smartcard and a password typed by a user. Moreover, to avoid the server-compromised attack, we propose the distributee key exchange protocols using the MTI key distribution protocol, And we present the security analysis of the proposed key exchange protocol and compare the proposed protocols with the existing protocols.

이질적 분산 환경에서 전자 상거래는 신임장을 기반으로 상거래 참여자들에 대한 인증 서비스가 제공되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 CORBA 보안 명세 1 를 기반으로 전자 상거래 참여자들에 대한 객체 단위 인증 및 권한 부여 기법을 제공하는 상호 인증 서비스 구조를 제안한다. 이 구조는 Kerberos 2 의 인증 기법 및 인증 키 교환 기법으로 전자 상거래 참여자간에 상대 주체의 신원 확인 뿐 아니라 거래 진행 중 취득한 정보의 근원을 파악할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 Kerberos 기법을 CORBA 플랫폼 기반의 상호 인증 구조로서 분산 환경에 대해 확장하였으므로 키 관리 등 보안 정보 관리에 있어 효율적이다.Abstract Electronic commerce shall provide its subjects with a credential-based authentication service in the heterogeneous distributed computing environment. In this paper, based on CORBA security service specification 1 which OMG defined, we propose the mutual authentication service for subjects of electronic commerce, providing the authentication of object level and the authenticated key exchange. This proposed structure, by Kerberos 2 for the authentication and the authenticated key exchange, assures not only the identification of a partner but also the confidence of origin of business item for negotiations between subjects of electronic commerce. Since our deployed Kerberos is extended to the mutual authentication service based on CORBA platform, it is efficient for security administration to manage the information such as a key management in the heterogeneous distributed computing environment.

The air interface supports a security layer which provides the key exchange protocol, authentication protocol, and encryption protocol. The authentication is performed on the encryption protocol packet. The authentication protocol header or trailer may contain the digital signature that is used to authenticate a portion of the authentication protocol packet that is authenticated. The encryption protocol may add a trailer to hide the actual length of the plaintext of padding to be used by the encryption algorithm. The encryption protocol header may contain variables such as the initialization vector (IV) to be used by the encryption protocol. It is our aim to firstly compute the session key created from the D H key exchange algorithm, and thereof the authenticating key and the encryption key being generated from the session key.

In this paper, we define two security concepts, “non-computable security” and “distribution security”, about authentication information committed to a authentication server without any trustee, and propose an authenticatied key exchange protocol based on password, satisfying “distribution security”. We call it MAP(Muti-Server Authentication Protocol based on Password) and show that SSSO(Secure Single Sign On) using MAP solves a problem of SSO(Single Sign On) using authentication protocol based on password with a trustee.

Recently, an efficient password-authenticated key exchange protocol based on RSA has been proposed by Park et al. with formal security proof. In this letter, we analyze their protocol, and show that it is not secure against an active adversary who performs a dictionary attack. Moreover, we analyze the performance of the proposed attack and show that the attack is a threatening attack against the protocol.

At Asiacrypt 2003, Shin et al., have proposed a new class for Authenticated Key Establishment (AKE) protocol named Leakage-Resilient AKE ${(LR-AKE)}^{[1]}$. The authenticity of LR-AKE is based on a user's password and his/her stored secrets in both client side and server side. In their LR-AKE protocol, no TRM(Tamper Resistant Modules) is required and leakage of the stored secrets from $.$my side does not reveal my critical information on the password. This property is useful when the following situation is considered :(1) Stored secrets may leak out ;(2) A user communicates with a lot of servers ;(3) A user remembers only one password. The other AKE protocols, such as SSL/TLS and SSH (based or PKI), Password-Authenticated Key Exchange (PAKE) and Threshold-PAKE (T-PAKE), do not satisfy that property under the above-mentioned situation since their stored secrets (or, verification data on password) in either the client or the servers contain enough information to succeed in retrieving the relatively short password with off-line exhaustive search. As of now, the LR-AKE protocol is the currently horn solution. In this paper, we prove its security of the LR-AKE protocol in the standard model. Our security analysis shows that the LR-AKE Protocol is provably secure under the assumptions that DDH (Decisional Diffie-Hellman) problem is hard and MACs are selectively unforgeable against partially chosen message attacks (which is a weaker notion than being existentially unforgeable against chosen message attacks).

Data deduplication can be utilized to reduce storage space in cloud storage services by storing only a single copy of data rather than all duplicated copies. Users who are concerned the confidentiality of their outsourced data can use secure encryption algorithms, but it makes data deduplication ineffective. In order to reconcile data deduplication with encryption, Liu et al. proposed a new server-side cross-user deduplication scheme by exploiting password authenticated key exchange (PAKE) protocol in 2015. In this paper, we demonstrate that this scheme has side channel which causes insecurity against the confirmation-of-file (CoF), or duplicate identification attack.

This paper proposes an ID-based entity-aunthentication and authenticated key exchange protocol with ECC via two-pass communications between two parties who airs registered to the trusted third-party KC in advance. The proposed protocol developed by applying ECDSA and Diffie-Hellman key exchange scheme to the ID-based key distribution scheme over ECC proposed by H. Sakazaki, E. Okamoto and M. Mambo(SOM scheme). The security of this protocol is based on the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem(ECDLP) and the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Problem(ECDHP). It is strong against unknown key share attack and it provides the perfect forward secrecy, which makes up for the weakness in SOM scheme,

The widespread use of public networks, such as the Internet, for the exchange of sensitive data that need a severe security, like legally valid documents and business transactions. At the same time public-key certificates used for sensitive data interchange form the viewpoint of data integrity and authentication. But there are some weakness of data transfer capacity and security in public key infrastructure(PKI) environment. This paper use the RSA one-way accumulator to realize an efficient and dynamic authenticated dictionary, where untrusted directories provide cryptographically verifiable answers to membership queries on a set maintained by a trusted source.

In this paper, we propose a new Two-factor Authentication and Key Exchange(TAKE) protocol that can be applied to low-power PDAs in Public Wireless LAMs using two factor authentication and precomputation. This protocol provides mutual authentication session key establishment, identity privacy, and practical half forward-secrecy. The only computational complexity that the client must perform is one symmetric key encryption and five hash functions during the runtime of the protocol.
