Abstract

The Menezes-Qu-Vanstone (MQV) protocol has been used widely to provide high security while using low computational power for authenticated key exchange. Although it has been proved to be vulnerable against unknown key share attack (UKS) when only implicit authentication is used, there are still a lot of protocols created based the MQV key exchange due to its implicit authentication properties. This paper provides an Identity-Based Authenticated Key Agreement (IBAKA) and Certificate-Less Authenticated Key Agreement (CLAKA) variation of MQV that is simulated and implemented using Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). The ECC variation of these protocols can provide high security and speed due to lower bandwidth and lower computational power. The simulation time will be compared with the previous attempt of implementation mainly with the most implemented protocol, CLAKA.
