Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrate that Kumar-Tripathi’s anonymous authenticated group key agreement protocol is insufficient in authenticity and unlinkability. Then the scheme is improved based on the Computational Diffie-Hellman (CDH) problem and Divisible Computational Diffie-Hellman (DCDH) problem. Compared with available schemes, the improved scheme satisfies strengthened security with lower computational overhead. The security is proven formally using AVISPA.
