Abstract
This paper considers the issue on authenticated two-party key agreement protocol over an insecure public network. Many authenticated key agreement protocols have been proposed to meet the challenges. However, existing protocols are either limited by the use of public key infrastructure or by their security, suffering dictionary attack. To overcome these disadvantages, we propose an efficient two-party password-based key agreement protocol resistant to the dictionary attacks by adding password-authentication services. Under the Computation Gap Diffie-Hellman assumption, we will show the proposed protocol is provably secure in both the ideal-cipher model and the random-oracle model.
